Four years later their new vine bore its first fruit: large, luminescent grapes that changed from light green to a delicate yellow as the growing season progressed.

Noted for their handsome appearance, Niagaras are also characterized by their pleasant aroma, which echoes the unique sweet-to-tart flavor of their juice—perfect for Welch's high standards of taste and quality.

Niagara grapes were first sold commercially in 1882.

Welch's Niagara grapes were supplied from one source, the Niagara Grape Company. This helped to guarantee early success in the marketplace.

Niagara promoters had a unique new grape variety and only one supplier – a powerful combination ensuring a clear path to its success in taking it to market.

Welch's Niagara grapes thrive in these northern states and Canada: Pennsylvania, New York, Michigan, Washington, Ohio and Ontario, Canada.
