Have you ever wondered how a grapevine actually gets started?
In this episode of Field Trips, we’re visiting Sunridge Nursery in Bakersfield, California to follow the full journey of a grapevine—from rootstock to greenhouse.
You might think grapes are grown from seeds… but that’s not how it works.
We’ll walk through the entire process, including grafting, the callus room, and what they call the “car wash”—where vines are trimmed, cleaned, and sealed before heading into the greenhouse to grow.
It’s a fascinating look at the science and care that goes into producing healthy, consistent grapevines.
