Every year on the last full weekend in September all the local grape grower get together and we have a Grape Jamboree. The Geneva Grape Jamboree celebrates the harvesting of the local grapes. Visitors may taste freshly squeezed grape juice, wine, and various other grape products.

Approximately 1500 acres of grapes are grown in the Geneva, Ohio area. Most of the grapes are processed into juices, concentrates or wine. Specific growing conditions, which exist only in a narrow band from the Lake Erie shore to 10 miles inland, contribute to the success of grape growing in this region. In the spring, the frozen waters of Lake Erie keep the air in the region colder later into the spring. This prevents the vines from budding out early only to be damaged by a late spring frost. In the fall, the now warm waters of the lake help prevent early fall frosts which may damage the grape crop before it can be harvested.
