Not only is Bruschetta with Champagne Grapes i a gorgeous hors d’oeuvre, but it’s fantastic over grilled chicken or fish or shellfish.
What are Champagne Grapes?
- These sweet, succulent, pearl-sized grapes are the smallest seedless grape variety. And aren’t they beautiful?
- Wouldn’t you think Champagne grapes got their name for being used to make champagne? Or for being the grape that is so often used for garnishing champagne flutes? Nope and nope.
- Champagne grapes are rarely used to make wine and at one time were called Black Corinth grapes — because they were exported from the Greek harbor, Port of Corinth.
- So then where did the name Champagne come from? A marketing campaign, of course.
What’s in Bruschetta with Champagne Grapes?
In addition to the grapes . . . .

When are they in season?
These Champagne grapes are from Melissa’s Produce — their season is approximately June through fall. If you can’t find them in stores, you can get them here.
Recipe Tip
- You can also use regular red, seedless grapes, cut into a small dice for this recipe.
I hope you love Bruschetta with Champagne Grapes as much as my family and I do.

This Champagne Grape-Avocado Bruschetta is so unique and delicious! It'll blow your guests away at your next get together!
- 1 cup Champagne grapes, washed and dried (see notes)
- 1/3 cup avocado (firm but ripe), cut into a small dice
- 1/4 cup white onion small dice
- 4 large basil leaves finely chopped, washed and dried
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil (you can also use extra virgin olive oil)
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 dozen slices of a French baguette, 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick
- 1 large garlic clove peeled
- about 1 dozen whole small basil leaves for garnish washed and dried
-
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the grapes, avocado, onion, basil and oil.
-
Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Here's How to Season to Taste.) Set aside.
-
Turn on the broiler and place the baguette slices on a baking sheet. Toast them under the broiler until they are golden brown, just a minute or so.
-
Rub each toasted slice of bread with the garlic clove, and then top each one with a generous tablespoon of the grape mixture. (The amount might vary depending on the size of the baguette.)
-
Garnish each one with a small basil leaf and serve!
To remove the Champagne grapes, very gently pull them away from the stems. You can do several at once. Some may still have a very tiny bit of the stem left, so be sure to check and remove any you see, before using them.
