As the leaves turn, the sweaters come out, and the air gets a little crisper, it’s officially time to fall into flavor. Autumn is all about comfort, think chill playlists, warm meals, and wines that wrap you up like a blanket. And what better way to elevate your coziest meals than with a bottle (or two) of Love Cork Screw?
Whether you’re snuggled under a blanket binge-watching your favorite series or hosting a low-key dinner with friends, our lineup of red, white, and rosé wines was made to vibe with the season. This guide brings you delicious food and wine pairing ideas that warm the soul and impress without the stress.
Let’s raise a glass to fall wine pairings that are as cozy and creative as your favorite hoodie.
1. “We Go High” Rosé + Harvest Charcuterie Board
Why it works: The bright, refreshing notes in our “We Go High” Rosé bring a pop of acidity that cuts beautifully through creamy cheeses and salty bites. Pair it with fig jam, apple slices, brie, prosciutto, and spiced nuts.
Perfect for: Firepit Fridays, book clubs, or solo “me-time” nights.
Pro tip: Add a dollop of pumpkin butter to the board for the ultimate fall touch.
2. “The Morning After” Chardonnay + Butternut Squash Risotto
Why it works: Creamy risotto meets its match with our medium-bodied “The Morning After” Chardonnay. Notes of golden apple, ripe pear, and citrus zest brighten up rich fall dishes like butternut squash risotto, roasted chicken, or baked mac and cheese.
Perfect for: Date night at home or showing off your chef skills during a Friendsgiving potluck.
Extra cozy bonus: Top your risotto with crispy sage and shaved parmesan.
3. “Hard Knock Life” Concord + Spiced Sweet Potatoes
Why it works: Sweet meets savory in the best way possible. Our “Hard Knock Life” Concord wine’s bold berry notes and floral finish make it the ideal pairing for cinnamon-roasted sweet potatoes or maple-glazed carrots. It’s a sweet red wine made for fall.
Perfect for: Sunday dinners with your chosen fam.
Why people love it: Concord is a great pick for wine newbies, it’s juicy, approachable, and feels like a warm hug in a glass.
4. “Head Over Heels” Sweet Riesling + Apple Cider Braised Pork
Why it works: A little sweetness goes a long way. The balanced, fruity profile of our “Head Over Heels” Sweet Riesling complements savory fall proteins like pork tenderloin, sausage stuffing, or glazed ham.
Perfect for: Impressing your in-laws or leveling up leftovers.
Switch it up: Add a splash of Riesling to your apple cider reduction for a one-pan wonder meal.
5. “We’re Movin On Up” Cabernet Sauvignon + Mushroom Stroganoff or Beef Stew
Why it works: The full-bodied flavors of our “We’re Movin On Up” Cabernet Sauvignon, black cherry, plum, and hints of toasted oak, stand up to hearty, umami-rich meals like a creamy mushroom stroganoff or classic beef stew.
Perfect for: Cold nights, comfort food cravings, and elevated cozy vibes.
Take it further: Light a candle, queue up your fall playlist, and let this pairing transport you to cabin-in-the-woods mode.
6. “Be The Light” Sauvignon Blanc + Autumn Kale Salad with Roasted Veggies
Why it works: Crisp and citrusy, this “Be The Light” Sauvignon Blanc brings balance to earthier fall produce like roasted beets, sweet potatoes, or squash. Add goat cheese, pepitas, and a drizzle of maple vinaigrette for a fall salad that doesn’t disappoint.
Perfect for: Lighter weeknight dinners or a chic fall brunch.
Wellness win: This combo is proof you can eat healthy and still sip happily.
7. “Good Times Good Friends” Pinot Grigio + Roasted Pear & Gorgonzola Flatbread
Why it works: This medium-bodied “Good Times Good Friends” Pinot Grigio delivers a crisp, refreshing palate with notes of citrus and green apple that play beautifully against rich, salty, and slightly sweet flavors. Think roasted pears, tangy gorgonzola, and caramelized onions all layered on a crispy flatbread.
Perfect for: An elevated snack during your fall movie marathon or impressing your brunch crew.
Flavor boost: Drizzle with hot honey and top with arugula for a sweet-savory combo that screams autumn.
8. “No More Drama” Moscato + Peach Cobbler or Sweet Potato Pie
Why it works: Dessert meets its match. Our “No More Drama” Moscato is sweet and juicy with a light effervescence that balances the warm spices and buttery textures of fall desserts. Whether it’s grandma’s sweet potato pie or a fresh-out-the-oven peach cobbler, this pairing feels like self-care in a glass.
