When to Prune Grapevines?

The timing of grapevine pruning depends on several factors, including the grape variety, climate, and geographic location of the vineyard. Generally, pruning occurs during the vine's dormant period, after the leaves have fallen. This typically happens between December and February when the vine is dormant and not actively growing.
