Grape pie is a refined dessert of European cuisine that surprises with its delicate taste and rich fruit filling. Its history traces back to the traditions of home baking when fresh grapes were used to create aromatic pies.

It is served slightly cooled to reveal all flavor nuances and pairs especially well with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a cup of fragrant tea.
