Hello everyone. I hope you are doing well. After all, it’s almost weekend. And what does this mean? It’s time to think about something yummy!
But before we talk about this recipe, let me also remind me other similar goat’s cheese appetizers.

Coronation Grape Goat Cheese
While I am sure we all are enjoying apples and pumpkins, let’s not forget about other seasonal produce. For instance, grapes and specifically concord grapes. For this recipe I used Coronation grapes which is a hybrid variety of table grapes developed in Canada. Its deep purple-blue colour, texture, and flavour is similar to Concord grapes. But the main difference is that Coronation grapes are seedless (Which is a huge bonus).
The process is super easy. You will need to quickly sauté the grapes in the combination of butter, honey, thyme, and salt. Since the coronation grapes have a delicate skin, it’s the matter of few minutes. My friends, the aroma is almost breathtaking!
You can definitely use any other available variety of seedless grapes, but you might need to sauté them a bit longer. While Concord grapes would be delicious too, it’s not the best option because of its seeds.
For the spread itself, you will need to add a little bit of this aromatic grape sauce along with a few grapes and whip it up. Easy-peasy!
You can serve this with toasted baguette or plain crackers. But if you feel adventures, try serving with garlic crackers – that’s a really interesting combination.
I hope you like this Coronation Grape Goat Cheese, and you will try this idea soon. If you make it, let me know in this post or send me an Instagram message or share you photos adding the hashtag #havocinthekitchen.

Another beauty, Ben. I would love to see this at a holiday get together — or really, any get together. I’d even make a meal of it. I love Concord grapes and grapes and goat cheese is perfect. With a glass of wine! :-D ~Valentina
Thank you Valentina!
The sweetness of fresh grapes and the salty goats cheese are such a perfect combo. This looks like a very special appetiser.
Thank you Marie!
The sweet and salty combination on this one is definitely addictive
Thank you!
Have not tried goat cheese yet but I love how gorgeous the dip looks and the flavours you added along with the grapes. I would love to try it someday.
Thank you!
Ben, this Coronation Grape Goat Cheese is absolutely STUNNING. It looks so creamy and delicious, and absolutely packed with flavor! Love the combination of the honey, thyme, and grapes. Talk about the perfect weekend treat right here!
Thank you Shannon!
This is the first I’ve heard of Coronation grapes…they sound tasty. And seedless is a must for me with grapes! I can’t stand biting into a grape to find a seed inside. Normally I go more savory when goat cheese is involved, but this sounds quite fantastic, Ben. I bet this would be a great appetizer with a glass of wine!
Thanks David. I didn’t know about its existence until this year either…even though this variety was cultivated many years ago…and despite the fact I’ve been living in Canada for almost 10 years haha.
Goats cheese is not my favourite due to the taste, but this looks good.
Thank you Tandy!
This looks like the BEST goat cheese dip out there, Ben. I am a huge fan of goat cheese, but never thought of pairing it with grapes…it looks stunning and I bet it tastes even better!
Thank you Angie!
