This Easter, bring everyone together with a memorable and delicious meal at home, complete with thoughtfully paired wines for every dish. From bright whites to elegant reds (and a celebratory glass of bubbles), there’s a wine to elevate every moment at the table.

Easter Sunday centers on a feast shared with family and friends. It’s a time to celebrate renewal, enjoy meaningful traditions, and savor seasonal flavors. While every family has their own favorites, baked ham, fresh salmon, and roasted lamb are classic main dishes of this spring holiday. No matter what you’re serving, we’ll help you choose the perfect wines to complement your meal, from the first toast to the final bite.

START THE CELEBRATION: SPARKLING WINE

Before the meal even begins, greet your guests with a glass of sparkling wine. It’s festive, refreshing, and instantly sets the tone for celebration. Sparkling wines offer bright acidity and lively bubbles that awaken the palate and pair beautifully with light appetizers like cheeses, fresh vegetables, and seafood bites.

A crisp sparkling wine is also incredibly versatile, making it the perfect choice to sip while everyone gathers and the final touches are put on dinner. 

Try these to get your celebration off to a festive start:

Louis Bouillot Brut

Fog Mountain Brut

PERFECT WINE PAIRINGS FOR HAM, SALMON, AND LAMB

Ham

Easter ham is often salty and rich, sometimes with a sweet glaze, so it pairs best with wines that balance those flavors. Look for wines with a touch of sweetness and bright acidity to cut through the richness.

Two crowd-pleasing white wines that deliver great flavor and keep everyone happy:

Sittmann Riesling

Touraine les Roches

If you’d rather go with red, opt for lighter styles with good acidity:

Beaujolais Villages Vienot

Salmon

Salmon is a fantastic Easter option—lighter than red meat but still rich and flavorful. Its versatility allows it to pair beautifully with both white and red wines, depending on how it’s prepared.

For simply roasted or grilled salmon, try:

Hautes Cote de Nuits Marchand  

Chablis Chateau d Maligny 

If your salmon includes herbs, citrus, or a glaze, consider:

Silver Beach Sauvignon Blanc 

Lamb

Roasted lamb is a traditional  and delicious Easter centerpiece - especially when served with seasonal vegetables and herbs. It’s also one of the easiest meats to pair with wine, thanks to its rich flavor and tender texture.

With lamb, you have plenty of options, including:

Cathedral Creek Cabernet Sauvignon

Chateau Mille Anges

Chateau Caronne Ste Gemme

Crozes Hermitage Basatus

 No matter what you serve this Easter, the right wine can bring every dish and every moment together. From a sparkling welcome to thoughtfully paired courses, it’s all about creating a warm, celebratory experience around the table.
