Trollhaugen Grape – Atlantic Canada

The Trollhaugen Grape is a cold-hardy grape variety developed by renowned breeder Elmer Swenson, making it an excellent choice for growers in Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick. Known for its exceptional vigor and winter hardiness, this variety thrives in northern climates and typically does not require winter protection.

Trollhaugen produces large, dark blue grapes that are sweet, juicy, and pleasantly aromatic, offering a sweet flavor with a subtle floral scent. The grapes contain very small seeds that are generally unobtrusive, making them enjoyable for fresh eating. The fruit is harvested in mid-September and is produced in generous clusters.

Highly resistant to disease and well adapted to cold conditions, the Trollhaugen grape is ideal for fresh consumption and also performs well for juice making. Its combination of flavor, productivity, and resilience makes it a reliable choice for backyard growers and home vineyards across Atlantic Canada.
