Grape Picking Tour in Pejarakan Buleleng, You Can Taste Before Choosing

Tourists are advised to contact the manager via WhatsApp before coming to obtain a location point. The gardens are in a rural area and not right by the main road.

Made Sujana hopes that the garden can become a place for family recreation as well as a means of introducing children to agriculture.

"The hope is that families will come here in large numbers. Children can learn and know that in Pejarakan Village, when they enter the village, it turns out there are imported grapes being cultivated," he said.

Currently, managers prioritize direct visits because they have not been able to meet the demand for online purchases or pay-on-delivery or COD services in large quantities.

Weather Affects Fruiting and Flavor

According to Made Sujana, harvesting is done every three months. Turnover for each harvest period is said to be around IDR 18 million or more.

However, grape cultivation faces weather challenges. He explained that during the rainy season, the fertilization process becomes more difficult and the sweetness of the fruit tends to decrease. On the other hand, in summer, grape production and sweetness are considered more optimal.

In terms of business development, the Pejarakan Village Government expressed its support through mentoring and promotional facilitation.
