The Grape House Group

What The Grape House Group does

The Grape House Group Pty Ltd is a second-generation, family-owned Australian horticulture enterprise headquartered in Euston, NSW, operating from the Murray Darling agricultural basin. The company grows, packages, and exports premium table grapes and citrus, cultivating twelve grape varieties (including Crimson Seedless, Sweet Globe™, Red Globe, Jack's Salute™, Melody™, and Sweet Sapphire™) and five citrus varieties (Afourer Mandarins, Eureka Lemons, Washington Navel, Chislett Navel, and Late Lane Navel). Its vertically integrated operations span cultivation, selective hand-picking, rapid-cooling post-harvest handling, multi-format packaging, and refrigerated logistics to both domestic and international customers.

The company's core technology is agricultural cultivation supported by cold-chain logistics infrastructure, including precision environmental tracking for fruit development metrics, rapid-cooling sequences to preserve stem hydration and berry crunch, structured 9kg export boxes and custom punnets conforming to national logistics regulations, and continuous active telemetry tracking from container reefers through to destination ports. The business is held to multiple compliance standards — GLOBALG.A.P., HARPS, ICA 20, HACCP, and Freshcare — which collectively gate access to major Australian retailers and phytosanitary export clearance.

The company operates a B2B enterprise sales model. Revenue is generated through direct sales of cultivated grapes to domestic wholesale buyers and international export customers, with commercial pricing negotiated via the sales desk rather than publicly disclosed. Domestic distribution channels include Coles (nationwide organic section), Woolworths (weekly certified organic supply), and Harris Farm Markets (boutique retailer). International export reaches Southeast Asia, East Asia (China, Japan, South Korea), and the Middle East through temperature-controlled sea freight (12–28 day transit windows) and time-sensitive air freight (24–48 hour port-to-airport). Leadership consists of Director Charlie Costa and Sales Manager Anthony P Costa, with no disclosed institutional investors or external ownership.
