Grapes are among the oldest fruits cultivated by Asir people, thriving in terraced farms thanks to moderate climate and cool nights. Successful cultivation occurred in fertile villages with running water, making grapes an integral part of local agricultural production.
Grape vines require continuous care from planting to harvest. With ripening, villages experienced anticipation and joy, consuming grapes fresh or drying them into raisins for long-term storage and seasonal consumption.
Grapes are not only food but also an economic resource, enhancing daily life and social hospitality.
