grapes - Discover U-Pick farms in the Netherlands

There’s something deeply satisfying about wandering through sun-drenched rows of vines, plucking ripe, juicy grapes straight from the cluster—each one bursting with sweetness. Whether you’re solo, savoring the quiet rhythm of harvesting, or laughing with friends and family as you fill baskets, the experience is a delightful blend of nature’s bounty and simple joy. The best part? Taking your haul home and turning it into something delicious.

Snack them fresh: Chill them for a refreshing treat or freeze for a cool, sweet bite.
Make a grape salad: Toss with arugula, goat cheese, walnuts, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
Roasted grape crostini: Spread creamy ricotta on toasted bread, top with roasted grapes (tossed in olive oil, salt, and rosemary at 400°F for 15 minutes), and finish with a sprinkle of black pepper.
Grape salsa: Combine diced grapes, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt for a vibrant twist on chips or grilled fish.
Grape cocktail: Muddle a handful with mint, shake with vodka, lime juice, and a splash of soda for a lively Grape Smash.

For a cozy evening, simmer grapes with cinnamon and honey for a warm grape tea, or infuse them in water with herbs for a spa-like sip. And if you’re feeling fancy, thread them onto skewers with cheese cubes for an effortless appetizer. The possibilities are as endless as the vines themselves.
