Thanksgiving Wine Gifts & Pairing Guide

Thanksgiving Wine Gifts & Pairing Guide

Bringing a gift for your hosts at Thanksgiving dinner is a delightful way to express your appreciation for their invitation to the celebration. A bottle of wine, complemented by some delicious gourmet snacks, makes for the perfect host gift.

 

Now, let’s talk appetizers. Thanksgiving wouldn’t be complete without those delicious starter snacks that awaken your taste buds! Just minutes after you arrive, you’ll be greeted with cheese, crackers, and creamy dips—favorites everyone enjoys. A bubbly Champagne or refreshing Prosecco pairs wonderfully with these salty and creamy delights, making the pre-dinner snacking all the more enjoyable. You can even find both wines in our Champagne & Truffles Gift Basket, which also includes a variety of sweet treats to savor after the main meal with those same wines!

 

Dinner Wines

Particular wines pair better with turkey than others, and we recommend avoiding the intensity and intense flavors of Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Go with something lighter, such as Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, Malbec, Chianti, Sauvignon Blanc, and Pinot Grigio. The aromas in each option will complement, but not compete with or even overpower, the food flavors on your plate.


Here is a list of gift baskets that offer these types of wines and the perfect complement of snacks that can be enjoyed before and after the big meal (or even during if the mood strikes you!).

Everyone always brings something to their Thanksgiving destination. Some people bring wine, some people bring a dish. You can gift a beautiful presentation of wine and food for everyone to enjoy during the holiday gathering - and we’ve got the perfect Thanksgiving Gifts options for you.  Happy Thanksgiving from GourmetGiftBaskets.com!
