BC-Grown Champagne Grapes — Kelowna, BC

Tiny grapes, big flavour! Champagne grapes are little clusters of sweet, juicy grapes that are almost impossible to stop snacking on.

These conventionally grown Champagne grapes come from Kelowna, BC, and are a lovely seasonal treat. Their tiny size, delicate skins and concentrated sweetness make them a little different from the larger table grapes we're used to seeing in grocery stores.

Why You'll Love Them

• Grown locally in Kelowna, BC

• Small, sweet and juicy

• Delicate skins and concentrated grape flavour

• Beautiful little clusters

• Perfect for snacking and cheese boards

• A seasonal BC-grown treat

Great For

Fresh snacking, fruit salads, cheese boards, desserts, yogurt bowls, baking and garnishes.

They're especially lovely served in little clusters alongside cheese, crackers and nuts. You can also scatter them over a salad or use them to decorate cakes and desserts.

Storage

Store Champagne grapes in the refrigerator, ideally in their original container or a ventilated bag.

Keep them unwashed until you're ready to eat them, as extra moisture can encourage spoilage.

Because these grapes are small and delicate, it's best to enjoy them while they're fresh.

Build Your Basket

Pair with local cheese, crackers and walnuts for a simple fall cheese board.

They're also delicious alongside pears, apples and other seasonal BC fruit.

Good to Know

Despite the name, Champagne grapes aren't actually used to make Champagne!

They're a type of tiny, sweet grape commonly known as Black Corinth, and are closely associated with the production of Zante currants—the little dried grapes often used in baking.

And while they're sometimes described as seedless, they may contain tiny, soft seed traces.

Their naturally small size is part of what makes them special. These aren't immature grapes waiting to get bigger!

How to Stretch This

If you can't finish your grapes while they're fresh, try freezing little clusters for a refreshing snack or to use in smoothies.

You can also remove the grapes from their stems and cook them gently into a sauce or compote to spoon over yogurt, pancakes or desserts.

And if you have a dehydrator, these tiny grapes are particularly well suited to drying into little currants.
