How to Choose the Perfect Grazing Table for Your Bay Area Event
There’s something magical about a grazing table. It’s not just food—it’s an experience. A conversation starter. A centerpiece. Whether you’re hosting a backyard celebration in Oakland, a Napa wedding, or a team mixer in Berkeley, a curated grazing table sets the tone. At The Grazing Company, we help you create a grazing experience that’s as thoughtful as it is delicious. Here’s how to choose the perfect setup:
🧀 1. Consider Your Guest Count
We offer everything from intimate graze boards to large-scale grazing tables. A quick guide:
6–12 guests → Graze board
25–50 guests → Medium table, but we have boards for that, too!
75+ guests → Full grazing table with decor and floral styling
Need help calculating portions? We’ve got you covered.
🌿 2. Choose Seasonal, Local Ingredients
We source cheese, produce, and accompaniments from California’s best farms and creameries. Our seasonal approach might include:
Spring: Humboldt Fog, strawberries, edible flowers
Summer: Belfiore burrata, stone fruit, basil
Fall: Fiscalini cheddar, figs, spiced nuts
Winter: Truffle Tremor, citrus, clove-infused jam
Seasonal = tastier + supports our local community.
🍖 3. Consider Add-Ons
Make your spread even more impressive:
Charcuterie cups (perfect for mingling)
Cracker baskets (optional but popular)
Decor upgrades (florals, signage, butcher paper setup)
Some grazing tables include styling; others are simply food-focused—your choice!
🍷 4. Pair with Local Wine
We love collaborating with Bay Area wineries like Hammerling and Tessier. Our wine and cheese pairings are thoughtfully curated to highlight flavor, seasonality, and fun.

📦 5. Relax—We Handle the Setup
Boards come ready to serve: just unwrap and pull from the fridge 30 minutes before serving.
Styled tables may be built on-site or delivered with decor.
Our goal is always the same: you enjoy the moment, we handle the details.
