Wenzhou net news summer night blowing cool breeze, about three or five friends, in the vineyard, eating hand-picked fresh grapes. Since June 25, this scene has been realized in Yueqing Youfeng grape base. After 7 o'clock every night, groups of tourists "drill" under the grape trellis to experience the fun of picking. This is a new sales model launched by Yueqing Youfeng Grape Base this year. The base's self-help picking extends from day to night. It is the first orchard in Wenzhou to open a self-help picking tour at night.

This is a new thing. Yesterday, the reporter curiously went to Youfeng grape base to explore the truth. Take the highway from Wenzhou for about 40 minutes and turn right at the exit of Lecheng Expressway for about 800 meters to reach Youfeng Base, which is only about 2 kilometers away from Yueqing City. This geographical location provides a good guarantee for self-help picking tour at night.

"Grape ripening is in summer, it is hot during the day, and office workers are not free during the day, so we came up with the idea of night picking." Pan Shanhe, person in charge of Youfeng Grape Base, said that Yueqing Youfeng Grape Base has a total of more than 150 mu, with an output of about 130 tons this year, all of which are very early-maturing and early-maturing high-quality varieties at home and abroad, through temperature control in the greenhouse. Usually ripe and pick in late June, more than half a month earlier than traditional local grape varieties. There are also innovations in the planting management mode, such as sheep dung and other farm manure, not using chemicals but natural fruit sitting, while controlling the yield per mu to ensure the quality of the fruit; in terms of safety supervision, the base adopts the QR code traceability system. Consumers can inquire about picking time, production unit, contact information, responsible person and other related information.

When it was very hot at noon, the reporter met several picking tourists in the vineyard. Mr. he, from Liushi Town, was introduced by others. Pan Shanhe said that last year, the base began to open self-help picking tours during the day, and this year, for the first time, it tried to postpone the time to night. Between 19:00 and 21:00, the entrance corridor put up awnings and lights, and cement bricks paved a walking trail. Soft music is also played at night, equipped with lights, flashlights and other equipment.

It is reported that the event has been welcomed by surrounding consumers since its launch on June 25. On sunny nights, hundreds of people come every night, with a maximum of 300 to 400 people. The picking season can last more than two months, and it can be around September 10 at the latest.

It is understood that the Yueqing Salt Basin Street, where the base is located, is located by the sea, with fresh air in the surrounding fields and cool night, which is very suitable for picking tourism. At present, only three greenhouses have been opened for night picking, and the base said that if it works well, it will consider replanning the entire park to allow tourists to enjoy a romantic and sweet picking trip.
