10 Great Wines for Thanksgiving (2025)

Holiday Pairing Guide — 10 Essentials
Thanksgiving Wine Pairing Guide: 10 Wines for a Delicious Feast
Thanksgiving is our favorite kind of chaos: a table full of savory, sweet, crunchy, and creamy — all at once. To keep every bite bright (and every cook smiling), we picked ten organic, sustainable, small-batch wines from real farms and families. These bottles are built for the dinner table and dialed for classic Thanksgiving flavors — from roast turkey and gravy to green beans, cranberry sauce, and pie.
The Wines
Killer picks that wont let you down. Complete with tasting notes & pairing ideas for the best Thanksgiving you've ever had!
Pairs with: green salads, roasted veg, burrata/goat cheese, herb-driven sides Easygoing Italian white with a crisp citrus core, a whisper of stone fruit, and a refreshing lift (sometimes a tiny spritz). It’s the “everyone’s happy” white for a packed table.
Pairs with: turkey breast, green beans/asparagus, herb stuffing, goat cheese Zesty citrus and juicy stone fruit with a clean, mineral line. Bedrock keeps it honest and vibrant—exactly what you want to brighten buttery, herb-laden plates.
Pairs with: roasted salmon, turkey + cranberry, sweet potatoes, soft cheeses Coastal, crushable rosé with strawberry, citrus, and a clean, saline finish. One of those “pours with everything” wines when plates are crowded and flavors vary.
Pairs with: roast veg, pork/ham, paprika-or herb-rubbed turkey, romesco-ish sides Mediterranean rosé with sun-kissed red berries, wild herbs, and a savory snap. Structured enough for bold sides, fresh enough to keep you circling back for another bite.
Pairs with: turkey + gravy, sausage stuffing, glazed carrots, cranberry sauce Granite-charged Gamay: vibrant red/blue fruit, violets, and a peppery lift. Chill for 15–20 minutes and watch it sing with everything on the table.
Pairs with: ham, turkey, cornbread stuffing, roasted squash, mushroom dishes Juicy cherry, a little black pepper, and refreshing acidity. Light on its feet with just enough grip—great slightly cool and perfect for long, chatty dinners.
Pairs with: caviar or chips, deviled eggs, turkey + pan drippings, triple-cream cheese Classic Champagne cut: green apple, lemon curd, brioche. Razor-sharp with fat and salt, celebratory with everything else. Start here… and probably end here, too.
One sparkling, two bright whites (Sauvignon, Chenin, or Italian White Blend), one chillable red (Gamay is quintessential Thanksgiving wine - a trope we are happy to let live), one deeper red (Syrah, Carignane, Zinfandel, or Cab).
Think texture, not just flavor
Acidity lifts rich dishes; light tannin keeps things friendly. That’s why these bottles are “all-meal” wines.
Serve temps matter
Chill whites well; give reds a gentle cool-down (15–20 minutes in the fridge) so fruit and spice stay lively.
