Thanksgiving Food & Wine Pairings
As we enter the season of celebration, gathering around the table becomes the highlight of many festivities. From Fredericksburg, Texas to New York City and beyond, memories will be made as we close in on another year and reflect on all that we are thankful for.
Does the thought of creating a holiday menu and selecting accompanying libations feel overwhelming? Allow us to suggest recommendations for your Thanksgiving feast, featuring thoughtfully curated food and Texas wine pairings.
Our Hill Country vineyard has been in operation since 1983, giving us the opportunity to test plenty of delectable combinations. Leave the planning to us so that you can get back to what matters most – enjoying experiences and creating memorable moments with those you love. However you choose to celebrate, we hope it is an exceptional occasion.
