The holiday season brings friends, family, and unforgettable meals to the table. Whether you’re preparing a traditional Thanksgiving feast or a cozy Christmas dinner, choosing the right wines can elevate every bite—from savory entrées to sweet desserts.

Here are four standout wines from our collection that pair beautifully with your favorite holiday dishes.

1. 2024 Château Chardonnay

Perfect Pairing: Roast Turkey, Stuffing, Mashed Potatoes & Classic Holiday Sides

Our 2024 Château Chardonnay—carefully aged in oak—was crafted with holiday meals in mind. Its round body, creamy texture, and subtle oak influence complement the savory richness of traditional Thanksgiving and Christmas plates.

Why it works:

• Buttery & toasty notes match roasted turkey and herb-forward dishes

• Full body stands up to mashed potatoes, stuffing & gravy

• Balanced acidity keeps the palate refreshed between bites

If there’s one white wine every holiday table deserves, this is it.

2. 2022 Cabernet Franc (Award-Winning)

Perfect Pairing: Ham, Herbed Turkey, Mushroom Dishes & Roasted Vegetables

Our 2022 Cabernet Franc has earned multiple medals at the Shenandoah Cup, Virginia Governor’s Cup, and Libation Awards, making it a standout red for holiday celebrations.

Cabernet Franc’s medium body, refined structure, and signature red-berry and herbal notes make it incredibly food-friendly—especially during the holiday season.

Why it works:

• Bright berry notes complement holiday glazes

• Delicate tannins pair beautifully with turkey, ham & winter vegetables

• Herbaceous character elevates mushroom stuffing or roasted root vegetables

If you want a red wine versatile enough to pair with the entire dinner menu, this bottle shines.

3. Cole Sparkling

Perfect Pairing: Appetizers, Charcuterie, Seafood, Salads & Holiday Desserts

No holiday celebration is complete without bubbles, and our Cole Sparkling brings the cheer. Its crisp profile and lively effervescence make it a perfect pairing for festive gatherings.

Why it works:

• Refreshing palate-cleansing bubbles for rich or salty appetizers

• Bright acidity pairs well with cheeses, seafood & lighter holiday dishes

• Adds an instant celebratory flair to your table

Serve Cole Sparkling as guests arrive—or enjoy it all the way through dessert.

4. Chambourcin Bleu

Perfect Pairing: Chocolate Desserts, Cheesecake, Berry Tarts & Holiday Spice Cakes

To finish your holiday meal on a high note, pour a glass of our beautifully balanced Chambourcin Bleu. Its vibrant fruit profile and silky texture make it a stunning companion to desserts.

Why it works:

• Dark berry notes complement chocolate & cocoa-based desserts

• Smooth tannins pair well with creamy cheesecake or custards

• Natural sweetness highlights berry tarts & spiced baked goods

It’s the perfect final flavor to close out your Thanksgiving or Christmas feast.
