    Grapes need to be sprayed often to keep from seeding. Thats not so healthy. And really grape seeds are very good for you

    We went through a vineyard in China one time. You're given a basket and a pair of scissors to cut your choice of the grape bunches. When you leave they weigh the grapes and you pay a small fee and take the grapes with you.
    Very nice experience.

    This one also a wonderful experience with pleasant memories.
    Had a similar experience at a tea plantation in China. You get the experience of picking the tea leaves you want. When you leave, they package the leaves in a very nice bag and you pay a small fee and take the tea leaves home.

    We went to this one:
    Anhui Province: Tourists can pick tea leaves at Liupu Tea Garden in Gubei town, where the tea garden blends tea culture with tourism, offering hiking trails, viewpoints, and scenic drives
