The fruit is the most important economical organ in the grape; accordingly, to investigate the grapevine genomic methylation landscape and examine its functional significance during fruit development, we generated whole genome DNA methylation maps for various developmental stages in the fruit of grapevine. In this study, thirteen DNA methylation-related genes and their expression profiles were identified and analyzed. The methylation levels for mC, mCG, mCHG, and mCHH contexts in 65 days after flowering (65DAF) fruit (véraison stage) were higher than those in 40DAF (green stage) and 90DAF (mature stage) fruits. Relative to methylation in the mC context, methylation levels in the mCHH context were higher than those of mCG and mCHG. The DNA methylation level in the ncRNA regions was significantly higher than that in exon, gene, intron, and mRNA regions. The differentially methylated regions (DMRs) and differentially methylated promoters (DMPs) in 65DAF_vs_40DAF were both higher than those in 90DAF_vs_65DAF and 90DAF_vs_40DAF. Most DMRs (or DMPs) were involved in metabolic processes and cell processes, binding, and catalytic activity. These results indicated that DNA methylation represses gene expression during grape fruit development, and it broadens our understanding of the landscape and function of DNA methylation in grapevine genomes.
