Celebrate Fall with Rioja Seasonal Pairings

As the leaves turn and the air grows crisp, there’s no better time to enjoy the simple pleasures of fall – especially with a glass of Rioja in hand. Our wines were made for these moments, whether you’re heading out for a fall-foliage picnic, gathering for a harvest celebration, or cozying up indoors with friends.

A Taste of Autumn in Every Glass

Shop Rioja’s Fall Seasonal Pairings highlights three perfect ways to pair Rioja wines with the season’s best activities:

• Fall-Foliage Picnic + Rioja Reserva
  Take in the stunning colors of autumn with a bottle of Rioja Reserva. Aged three years, its oak and spice complement the earthy aromas of the season.
• Harvest Celebration + Rioja Whites & Rosados
  Raise a glass to the harvest with fresh Rioja whites and crisp rosados. They pair beautifully with cheeses, tapas, and seasonal vegetables.
• Cozy Wine Tasting Party at Home
  When the weather calls for staying in, gather friends for a Rioja tasting night. Compare Crianzas, Reservas, and Gran Reservas to explore the region’s incredible depth.
