RESULTS

This report consists of two parts:

California’s wine-type grape acreage is estimated at 615,000
acres. Of the total acres, 575,000 were bearing and 40,000 were
non-bearing. Table-type grape acreage totaled 127,000 acres
with 120,000 bearing and 7,000 non-bearing.
The leading wine-type varieties continued to be Chardonnay
and Cabernet Sauvignon. Flame Seedless was the leading
table-type grape variety.

➢ Estimated grape acreage -- bearing, non-bearing, and
total.
➢ Detailed data by variety, and year planted -- as
voluntarily reported by grape growers and maintained
in our list of grape vineyards.
With perfect information, the estimated grape acreage and the
detailed data would be the same. However, this will never be the
case for the following reasons:
➢ A voluntary survey of approximately 7,500 grape
growers is unlikely to attain 100 percent completeness.
➢ It is difficult to detect growers who are planting grapes
for the first time.
➢ The detailed data reflects vine removals of table and
wine type grapes from 11,000 acres during the past
twelve months. Of this number, significant acreage was
harvested in 2022 prior to being pulled out. As a result,
harvested acreage removed in 2022 is included in the
estimated acreage for 2022, but excluded from the
detailed data.

Reported data with an allowance for incompleteness.
The Raisin Administrative Committee did not fund the Grape Acreage
Survey in 2022, therefore the Raisin Type and All Grape totals are
unavailable.
(NA) Not available.
(NC) No Change.

OBJECTIVES
The USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS)
Pacific Regional Office partners with California Department of
Food and Agriculture and the California Table Grape
Commission to conduct an annual acreage survey of California
grape growers. The purpose of this survey is to provide annual
grape acreage with information on new plantings and removals.
It is a continuation of a long series of industry-funded grape
acreage surveys.

The major source of the grape detailed data was a questionnaire
mailed to table and wine grape growers from our list of grape
vineyards. The mailing was made in October 2022 to
approximately 7,500 grape growers. The questionnaire
contained previously reported crop, variety, and acreage
information preprinted. Producers were asked to update the
information with new plantings, removals, and any other
corrections; new growers were mailed a blank questionnaire.
This report includes responses from growers received through
the middle of April 2023.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
We sincerely thank the many farm operators, owners, and
management firms providing the information. Funding was
provided by an assessment on wine grapes plus funding from
the California Table Grape Commission.

The Raisin Administrative Committee did not fund the Grape Acreage Survey in 2022, therefore the Raisin Type and All Grape totals are unavailable.
