Easter Pairing Ideas
Easter meals are all about fresh, seasonal flavors, and pairing them with the perfect wine or cocktail creates an extraordinary dining experience. Here are some of our favorite Easter pairing ideas to make your celebration shine:
1. Spring Lamb with Nella Terra Cellars Pinot Noir
Lamb is a classic Easter dish, offering a tender and flavorful centerpiece for any spring gathering. Paired with a light, fruity Pinot Noir, the combination enhances the lamb’s natural richness without overpowering it.
Catering Idea: Serve roasted spring lamb with a fresh mint chutney or rosemary-infused sauce. Add grilled vegetables or roasted baby potatoes to balance the lamb’s richness.
2. Honey Glazed Ham with Retzlaff Vineyards Chardonnay
A tender honey-glazed ham is a beloved holiday favorite, and its sweetness pairs perfectly with the crisp, buttery profile of Chardonnay. The wine’s acidity complements the ham’s richness, elevating both the dish and the wine.
Catering Idea: Pair smoked honey-glazed ham with sides like honey-buttered carrots, herbed stuffing, and a light spring salad with citrus dressing.
3. Spring Vegetables with Concannon Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc
Fresh, vibrant spring vegetables like asparagus, peas, and baby carrots deserve a wine that matches their brightness. Sauvignon Blanc, with its crisp acidity and citrus notes, is the perfect wine to complement these colorful sides.
Catering Idea: Create a vegetable medley tossed with olive oil and roasted to perfection. Add a spring vegetable salad with tangy mustard vinaigrette or even a grilled vegetable display as part of a larger grazing table.
4. Easter Brunch Pairings: Mimosas and More
Easter brunch is a time-honored tradition for many families. Celebrate with refreshing mimosas paired with savory and sweet options like quiche, smoked salmon, and fresh fruit.
Catering Idea: Host a brunch buffet with an assortment of seasonal pastries, a DIY omelet station, mini quiches, and fresh fruit displays.
