Whether you're planning a cozy dinner at home or hosting a harvest gathering, here are some of our favorite wine and food pairings to celebrate the season.
Creamy, slightly sweet, and full of autumn warmth, butternut squash soup pairs beautifully with an oaked Chardonnay. The wine’s round texture and subtle notes of vanilla and spice echo the richness of the soup while balancing its natural sweetness.
Tip : Add a touch of nutmeg or roasted chestnuts to your soup for an extra layer of flavor.
Earthy mushrooms are a classic autumn ingredient, and they shine in a creamy risotto. Pair this dish with a Pinot Noir, especially one from Burgundy or Alsace. Its delicate tannins and forest-floor notes enhance the umami of the mushrooms without overpowering the dish.
Why it works : The wine’s acidity cuts through the creaminess of the risotto, while the earthy tones harmonize beautifully.
Carrots, parsnips, beets, and sweet potatoes take on rich, caramelized notes when roasted, ideal for a rustic autumn side. Serve them alongside a glass of Côtes du Rhône, a Grenache-based red blend known for its warmth, spice, and red fruit flavors.
Perfect for : A relaxed evening meal or Thanksgiving-style feast.
Figs are a luxurious autumn treat, and when used in a glaze over seared duck breast, they become truly irresistible. A smooth, medium-bodied Merlot with ripe plum and soft tannins complements both the sweetness of the fig and the richness of the duck.
Bonus pairing : If you're feeling adventurous, try a Pinot Meunier from the Loire for something a little lighter and more aromatic.
No autumn menu is complete without dessert. A classic French apple tart, with buttery pastry and cinnamon-scented apples, pairs delightfully with a late harvest Gewürztraminer. This aromatic, slightly sweet wine enhances the fruit and spice without overwhelming the dish.
Also delicious with : A glass of sweet Vouvray or Sauternes.
Autumn is a time to slow down, savor, and reconnect, with nature, with others, and with our senses. Whether you're enjoying a quiet glass of wine by the fire or hosting a seasonal dinner, these pairings are a celebration of everything fall has to offer.
