Spring has arrived, and with it comes the joy of Easter – a time for gathering, feasting, and toasting to new beginnings. Whether you’re planning an elegant brunch, a cozy family dinner, or a festive outdoor picnic, Rove Wines are perfect for your Easter celebration.
Setting the Easter Table with Elegance
Easter is a time of renewal, and your table setting should reflect the fresh and vibrant energy of spring. Imagine soft pastel linens, delicate floral arrangements, and the sparkle of wine glasses catching the afternoon light.
A few simple touches can create an inviting tablescape:
- Fresh flowers – A bouquet of tulips, daffodils, or lilacs brings the beauty of the season indoors.
- Festive accents: Place decorative eggs in a rustic basket or scatter small rosemary sprigs for a fragrant touch.
- Wine as décor – Displaying bottles of wine on the table adds sophistication and signals that good things are about to be poured.
Now that your table is set, let’s talk about the best part – pairing Rove Wines with your Easter feast.
Perfect Easter Wine Pairings
Easter menus are filled with fresh, bright flavors that pair beautifully with Rove’s selection of estate-grown wines. Whether you’re starting with brunch or diving straight into the main course, these pairings will take your meal to the next level.
Brunch Pairings
Mimosas with Rove’s Cherry Cider – Swap the traditional sparkling wine for Rove’s Cherry Cider to create a unique and flavorful Easter mimosa. Just add a splash of fresh orange juice for a lightly effervescent and fruit-forward twist.
Quiche with Select Harvest Riesling – Whether it’s a classic quiche Lorraine or a vegetable-packed frittata, the balanced acidity and hint of sweetness in our Select Harvest Riesling provides the perfect complement.
Main Course Pairings
Glazed Ham with Reserve Oaked Chardonnay – The rich, earthy notes of Reserve Oaked Chardonnay highlight the caramelized sweetness of honey-glazed ham, making for a mouthwatering pairing.
Roast Lamb with Merlot – If lamb is on your Easter menu, look no further than Merlot. Its smooth fruit flavors create an unforgettable match for herb-crusted lamb.
Dessert Pairings
Carrot Cake with Ragaire Rosé – The bright acidity and berry notes of our Ragaire Rosé perfectly balance the warm spices and cream cheese frosting of a classic carrot cake.
Chocolate Eggs with Pinot Noir – A silky, fruit-forward Pinot Noir enhances the richness of chocolate eggs, proving that wine and Easter treats are a match made in heaven.
