SIX HALLOWEEN WINE & CANDY PAIRINGS TO TRY AT THE WINERY

Chardonnay + Candy Corn

Candy corn’s creamy sweetness meets the citrus and tropical fruit notes of our stainless-steel Chardonnay. Taste the wine first, then try it after a small bite of candy and discover how the combination changes your impression.

Sauvignon Blanc Reserve + Skittles

The lemon, citrus and lemongrass notes of Sauvignon Blanc Reserve meet Skittles’ colorful fruit flavors. Try different colors with the same wine. You and your tasting partner might choose entirely different favorites.

Darryl Mack Cellars Red + Twizzlers

Strawberry Twizzlers connect with the bright berry character of Darryl Mack Cellars Red. This smooth red blend brings a playful pairing to the table, with familiar fruit flavors to explore in both the candy and the glass.

Cabernet Sauvignon + Reese’s

Chocolate and peanut butter bring a richer combination to our Cabernet Sauvignon’s cherry and spice notes. If peanut butter cups are your Halloween favorite, try this pairing before choosing your party wines.

Syrah + Snickers

Chocolate, caramel and peanuts give you several flavors to discover alongside our Syrah’s jammy fruit and soft tannins. Compare it with the Cabernet and Reese’s pairing to find your favorite chocolate-and-wine match.

Raspberry Blush + Sour Patch Kids

First sour, then sweet. Sour Patch Kids give you two different moments to explore with Raspberry Blush, our blend of raspberries and Pinot Gris. It’s a colorful finish to the tasting and a fun combination to share with friends.

TAKE HOME THE WINES FOR YOUR HALLOWEEN PARTY

Trying the pairings at the winery makes choosing your Halloween wines part of the fun. Our wine team can help you explore the combinations and select bottles for your gathering.

At home, arrange the candies beside their matching wines and use our pairing guide to lead your guests through the tasting. Invite everyone to compare favorites, whether you’re hosting a costume party, gathering for a scary movie or adding a sweet finish to a Halloween dinner.

You might leave with a bottle you already love or discover a wine you wouldn’t have thought to serve.
