By coincidence Divine Flavor became involved in importing table grapes from other parts of the world. “It was 2010 and I worked for Grupo Alta where I was overseeing the R&D side at the time.

We had a lot of programs in breeding, and I was participating in a trip to South Africa where I had an opportunity to see many grape varieties that were being tested.” Many breeders had testing sites in the Hex River Valley and organized their own field days.
