While you’re refreshing your seasonal routine, explore our wine and cocktail accessory collections designed for spring entertaining, outdoor gatherings, and carefree sipping.
1. Embrace Lighter Wines
Spring calls for wines that are fresh, crisp, and vibrant! Swap out heavier reds for these refreshing picks:
-
Sauvignon Blanc – Zesty and citrusy, perfect for spring picnics.
-
Albariño – Floral with hints of stone fruit, making it a great warm-weather option.
-
Pinot Noir – A light-bodied red that works beautifully slightly chilled.
2. Experiment with Floral & Aromatic Wines
Spring is full of floral aromas 🌸, so why not choose wines that match the vibe?
-
Viognier – A fragrant white wine with notes of honeysuckle and peach.
-
Gewürztraminer – Floral, spicy, and ideal for patio sipping.
3. Chill Your Reds 🍷
Not all reds need to be served at room temperature! A slight chill (around 55°F/13°C) on reds like Gamay or Grenache makes them perfect for warm spring days.
4. Pair Wine with Seasonal Foods
Spring ingredients shine with fresh, bright wines. Try these classic pairings:
-
Asparagus + Grüner Veltliner – A match made in heaven for this notoriously tricky vegetable.
-
Strawberries + Rosé – The ultimate spring flavor duo.
-
Spring greens + Sauvignon Blanc – A crisp, herbaceous combo.
5. Get into Spritzers & Wine Cocktails
Lighten things up with a white wine spritzer or a Rosé Sangria for outdoor gatherings. These fun, refreshing drinks are perfect for springtime entertaining!
6. Try a New Rosé
Rosé season is officially here! Look for dry styles from Provence for elegance or fruit-forward options from California for a juicier twist.
7. Take Your Wine Outside
Nothing says spring like enjoying a glass of wine under the open sky. Whether you're heading to a picnic, rooftop party, or backyard gathering, don’t forget to bring a chilled bottle. And for the ultimate spill-free experience, take The Glass Slipper with you!
