The vine is endemic to the Mediterranean region as well as Asia, and the Greeks are believed to be the first community to consume grapes for their numerous health benefits. Ancient medical writings revealed that the health benefits of grapes were recorded by Greek philosophers. Grape seed oil has been around and used for over 6,000 years.

According to other historical sources, Ancient European medical doctors used extracts from the seeds and leaves of the grape in medicinal practices to create ointments that would specifically treat skin and eye ailments. Unripe grapes were eaten to relieve constipation and the discomfort of overeating. Overripe grapes were used to relieve nausea. Raisins were known to naturally relieve constipation and liver problems.

In Ayurvedic medicine, grapes were called "Drakshaa Phalottamaa", meaning "the top of all fruits". Grapes were included in Ayurvedic medicines used for various ailments such as memory loss, fatigue, depression, hypertension, diarrhea, indigestion and bloating.

Grape later became widespread in Europe. In 1569, Emperor of Italy II. Maximilian authorized a musician to produce grape seed oil as a monopoly to protect musical instruments. They were mixed with grape seeds and water in large barrels, kept closed for a few days, and then beaten every few days until a puree was obtained. A gentle heat was applied to separate the oils from the water.

The grape was finally recognized in North America. Thus, it has become one of the most popular fruits grown worldwide. Numerous suppliers have started producing massive quantities of grapeseed oil.

In the 20th century, grape seed oil began to attract the attention of scientists. Although gaining popularity as a culinary oil, it continues to be widely used in cosmetic, soap and medical applications.
