‘A MEAL WITHOUT WINE IS LIKE DAY WITHOUT SUNSHINE’

Food and wine matching doesn’t have to be complicated or involve expensive wines and Michelin starred cookery. But with a little planning even the simplest of dishes can be enhanced. We have put together a Guide to Matching Food and Wine with some basic rules to follow when matching food and wine. Our Matching Grapes to Food is a great way to help you decide what foods to go for if you have already chosen your wine. We have also put together some Seasonal Food and Wine Matching Ideas that will help inspire your food and wine matching though the seasons.
