Foods To Pair With Rosé For National Rosé Day

If you’re planning on doing the whole “rosé all day” thing, then I promise you’re going to want a few snacks to keep you going. Because there’s nothing like a pink hangover to make you regret your decisions — so food really should be a part of your National Rosé Day celebrations on June 10. Are you nodding your head? Good, than let’s get fancy with your food pickings and find the proper foods to pair with rosé to make your National Rosé Day an even bigger hit.

As you know, rosé is a fun mix between red and white wine. The reason for this mix is the length of time that the grapes (with skins on them) sits in a clear juice that will create the wine flavor and color. The reason for sweeter and drier rosés actually has to do with the types of grapes that are being used, which is why moscato tastes vastly different to a dry brut.

The tip when it comes to pairing rosé is knowing the different types of rosés, and what they would be best with. Most dry rosés will go really well with a seafood dish, but a sugary and even a sparkling rosé will be best with fruit or citrus-based foods — like melon, bruschetta, or strawberries.

Bruschetta Bar

Nothing goes better with a fine glass of rosé than a huge bruschetta board for all of the delicious citrus and cheesy pickings. Making it a brunch appetizer with this board by Half Baked Harvest.
