A few months ago I posted one of my most popular posts – How to Create a Grazing Table Your Guests Will Never Forget. Since everyone LOVED the last grazing table post, I decided to create a master grazing table grocery list for all the items I use, including things that will really elevate your table and impress the crowd.
How Much Food Should You Get for Your Grazing Table – Find Out Here!
This Thanksgiving Holiday I created a Fall Themed Grazing Table at our family home in the mountains. We did the table on Wednesday night which was perfect – no one had to cook, and leftovers could be munched on throughout the day on Thursday until the big turkey was done roasting!

Hope this grazing table master grocery list helps and be sure to tag Sunny Coastlines in any photos so I can see your beautiful creations!
GRAZING TABLE GROCERY LIST
Flowers-
I use a foundation flower like eucalyptus, this year I used dried fall leaves which really made the fall colors POP! After I play around with placement of that I’ll add in larger flowers placed directly on the table and then I’ll add tiny vases at different heights to create a layering affect.
Cheese– I slice all the cheese before placing on the board to make it easier for guests to grab!
Gouda
Cheddar
Brie – (I do NOT cut the wheel of Brie) always drizzle honey
Goat Cheese
Cheese soaked in Merlot
Gruyere
Manchego
Meats
Prosciutto
Capicola
Genoa Salami
Soppressata
Olives – I usually go to an olive bar and do a variety of olives
Peppadew peppers stuffed with goat cheese (usually found on olive bar)
Crackers – I usually get rosemary, wheat, and black pepper
Bread – I will either go to my bakery or a high end grocery store with a variety of bread loafs. I get a couple of baguettes, and tuscan style loaves.
Chocolate – I always go with Lindt Dark Chocolate bar – surprisingly the chocolate is always the first to go!
Pretzel Sticks
Dried Apricots
Banana Chips
Large Sprigs of Rosemary
Fruit
Red Grapes
Grapefruit + Pomegranates – I cut these in half and place on table – you can cut these up later for salads if you choose
Pears
Granny Smith Apples
Strawberries
Blueberries
Raspberries
Figs
Vegetables
Carrots
Cherry Tomatoes
Campari Tomatoes – leave on vine – great to put on sandwiches the next day!
Bell Peppers
Cucumbers
Dips
Red Pepper Hummus
Garlic Hummus
Spinach and Artichoke Dip
Condiments
Whole Seed Mustard
Dijon Mustard
Stonewall Kitchen Bourbon Molasses Mustard
Stonewall Kitchen Ginger Fig Jam
Stonewall Kitchen Maine Blueberry Jam
Honey
Nuts
Almonds
Cashews
Let me know what you would add to your grazing table grocery list!

How many people does the grazing table grocery list feed?
Shannon Shipman says
id say this is good for about 20- but you can adjust the amount that you buy for smaller larger groups, also a lot of these items can be preserved – save nuts/crackers/chocolate. freeze the cheeses etc, etc, etc…
🙂 happy new year!

I plan on doing a grazing table for my daughter’s baby shower, but I’m just not sure how much I should buy of each of these items. Is there a specific amount (ie lbs) per person of meat, cheese, etc one should buy? Thank you!

Hello! your blog is amazing. I love all your ideas. Im planning to do this for about 80 people. Do you have a recommendation on where to buy the cheese for a more economical price? Also, would you have a recommendation on how much cheese and meats for this 80 ppl? this would be the appetizers only.
Shannon Shipman says
I wrote about portions in this post: https://shannonshipman.com/how-much-food-grazing-table/
