As the leaves turn golden and the air gets that wonderful crisp chill, there's no better time than autumn to cozy up with a glass of wine. From comforting mulled wines to festive fall cocktails and delectable food pairings, these are the perfect sips to celebrate the season. No matter which you choose, Duplin’s best wines for fall are sure to add a touch of North Carolina charm and deliciousness to your season.
Fall is the season for big-batch cocktails. Everyone has an opinion about which pitcher drinks are best for Halloween, college bowl games, the Super Bowl, Friendsgiving and Thanksgiving. So we put two top-rathed pitcher drinks to the test: Apple Cider Sangria vs. the Apple Cider Margartia. Find out what our testers thought.
Whether you're calling friends for a s'mores party around the fire pit or packing the cooler to catch the best weekend fall festivals, these drinks suit every crisp-weather occasion. First off, the colors are gorgeous. Just like fall leaves! Each one also packs cozy flavors. Some are sippers to pour over ice; others you'll want to cup in a big mug.
The game-changer in this sangria is soaking the fruit in Duplin American Port. With a hit of brandy and notes of dried fruit, the sweet port adds another dimension of flavor and an extra kick.
Sit back and peep some fall leaves with this gorgeous spritz that layers the colors and flavors of the season. Pum'kin wine, apple whiskey, a touch of caramel and a splash of hard cider harmonize in a fizzy, refreshing drink garnished with apples, pears and a cinnamon stick.
The captivating full moon on the lable of our new Moonlight Bliss white wine inspired this drink that combines everything wonderful about fall and the holiday season. With a hint of mulled wine spices and a dash of crisp apple, the Howl At The Moon drink kicks off the partying just right.
With all the fuss around how to carve a turkey, how to make gravy and which recipes for Thanksgiving side dishes you should try this year, drinks are the last thing you need to worry about.
Chocolate with port is a classic wine and food pairing, so we decided to bump up homemade hot chocolate with a shot of Duplin American Port wine. And, of course, lots of marshmallows and whipped cream.
