Stan, call Morgan Creek Winery in Harpersville. They make muscadine wine. Before my uncle died, he was friendly with the guy at Morgan Creek and found the man very helpful with his winemaking hobby. He may be able to give advice about what varieties to grow. I would guess they are busy picking and pressing right now. Also call the Auburn Cooperative Extension Agent in Jasper. Google muscadine wine Alabama for more wineries. Your best bet will be the Cooperative agency.

Perdido Vineyards has been growing them for many many years (all of my life).

Maybe they could give you some info...

Stan, we have a U-Pick near Montgomery with about an acre of 8 different muscadine and scuppernong varieties growing for the past 4 years. We use the double cauldron trellis method. We bought all of our vines from Isons Nursery just below Atlanta and would recommend them to anyone.

I've attached a link that will help you better understand the details of growing muscadine.

The amount of vines you plant should be determined by (1) how much time and effort you have to raise them and then to annually prune them, (2) what you are going to do with the fruit once they ripen, remembering they all don't ripen at the same time (U-Pick and sell at farmers markets, sell wholesale to food distributors or sell to a winery).

I'd be happy to tell you our lessons learned on the subject. Just go to our web site to find our phone number and give me a call.
