These are our hand-picked favorite Thanksgiving wines. Each pairs perfectly with the traditional Thanksgiving feast. Offering all three wines to guests will guarantee there’s something to please everyone at the table, no matter what their wine preferences are.
Rosés may have gained popularity as the hippest wine around recently, but we’ve been making this classic wine for years. Made from a blend of Pinot Noir, Gamay Noir, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, this wine pairs perfectly with savory favorites. Commonly recommended for the Thanksgiving table, this wine balances a light sweetness with bright, crisp fruit flavors.
This full-bodied red wine is the perfect red to accompany any Thanksgiving feast. Offering a well-balanced and fruity aroma, Gamay Noir is well known for how easily it pairs with a wide variety of foods. With the diversity of foods served for Thanksgiving, this is the red to reach for.
What kind of northern Michigan winery would we be if we didn’t recommend a Riesling? We’ve been perfecting the Riesling since we opened our vineyards in 1974, and the flavors in our seven versions of the wine bring those years of experience to life. Our Dry Riesling is crisp and fruity with a clean finish, making it perfect to sip alongside a heavy Thanksgiving meal.
Find these wines in stores, online, or stop in our tasting room to taste them first. The holidays are a busy time – why not pick up a whole case so you’re always ready to celebrate? If holiday survival isn’t enough of an incentive, we offer case discounts! Happy Thanksgiving.
