This study was conducted in 2011-2012 to determine ampelographic characteristics of the grape varieties grown in Yüksekova (Hakkâri) town and villages. Ampelographic characteristics of the varieties were determined based on “Descriptors for Grape” method developed by “International Board for Plant Genetic Resources” (IBPGR). It was determined that 12 grape varieties grown in Yüksekova region belonged to Vitis vinifera L. species. Berry skin color was ‘Green yellow’ in six varieties and ‘dark red’ in the other six varieties. Mean bunch weight of the varieties was “small” in Tırşık and Tritelk varieties, “big” in Besirane, Mirani, Öküzgözü and Reşmıv varieties and “Medium” in the others. The lowest bunch weight (193.50±17,78 g) was observed in Tritelk variety and the heaviest bunch weight (576.30±48.22 g) was observed in Öküzgözü variety. Average yield per grapevine varied between 3.79-6.08 kg, water soluble dry matter content (WSDM) varied between 11-19% and titratable acidity varied between 6,00-16.30 g/l. Flowers of all varieties were “hermaphrodite”.
