Valentine’s Day Wine Guide: Sip, Swoon, and Celebrate Love

Valentine’s Day is all about indulgence, romance, and sharing something special—and nothing sets the mood quite like the right bottle of wine. Whether you’re planning a candlelit dinner, a cozy night on the couch, or a dessert-forward celebration, choosing the perfect wine can turn a good evening into an unforgettable one.

From sparkling pink bubbles to rich, whiskey-aged reds and sweet dessert wines, here’s your ultimate Valentine’s Day wine guide—complete with how to serve each wine and what to pair it with for maximum romance.

Davenport Red: Classic Comfort with a Romantic Twist

If your Valentine’s plans include pasta, candlelight, and carbs (the true love language), Davenport Red is your perfect match. This semi-sweet red wine is made from the widely planted Concord grape, offering familiar fruit-forward flavors that feel comforting and nostalgic.

Serve Davenport Red lightly chilled or at room temperature to bring out its rich character. It pairs beautifully with Italian favorites like spaghetti, ravioli, or lasagna, making it ideal for a cozy dinner date that feels both effortless and special.

Tickled Pink Sparkling Wine: Pop the Bubbles, Steal the Heart

Nothing says celebration like bubbles—and Tickled Pink Sparkling Wine brings the fun, flirty energy Valentine’s Day deserves. This fruity sparkling wine features a distinct sweet, non-foxy aroma and flavor, made primarily from the American Steuben grape.

Serve it extremely cold for the best experience. It’s delightful on its own for toasts and surprises, or mixed with orange juice for a playful Valentine’s Day mimosa. Perfect for proposals, brunch dates, or anytime you want to add a little sparkle to love.

Coal Creek Heritage Series Red Wine Blend: Bold, Smoky, and Unforgettable

For couples who like their wine bold and their romance intense, the Coal Creek Heritage Series Red Wine Blend delivers something truly unique. This exclusive blend of Old Vine Zinfandel and Marion Blackberry is aged in whiskey barrels, creating layers of blackberry jam, spiced Zin notes, and smoky aromatics.

This wine pays homage to a time-honored Tennessee winemaking tradition and pairs beautifully with savory dishes like BBQ and smoked meats. But don’t stop there—Coal Creek also shines alongside desserts such as crème brûlée, making it a standout choice for couples who love to mix sweet and smoky flavors.

Raspberry Mist: Sweet, Light, and Berry-Filled Bliss

Raspberry Mist is the wine equivalent of a Valentine’s Day flirt—sweet, light, and irresistibly charming. With a perfect balance of raspberry and grape flavors, it offers fresh berry aromas without requiring a trip to the patch.

Serve Raspberry Mist lightly chilled and enjoy it as an afternoon treat, evening sipper, or dessert wine. It pairs wonderfully with sweet pastries, mild cheeses, and—of course—chocolate. If dessert is the main event, this wine belongs on your table.

Kiss This Sweet Cherry Wine: Dessert Worth Falling For

Sometimes Valentine’s Day calls for something unapologetically sweet. Kiss This Sweet Cherry Wine, co-produced by our winemaker and guest vintner Aaron Tippin, is a dessert wine that balances sweetness with the tartness of freshly picked cherries.

This light red wine works beautifully as an aperitif with mild cheeses or as a companion to pastries and confections. It’s playful, indulgent, and perfect for ending the night on a high note—or starting it with a smile.

Love Is Better with the Right Wine

Whether you’re clinking glasses over pasta, popping bubbles, savoring smoky reds, or sharing dessert, the right wine makes Valentine’s Day even sweeter. These wines are crafted to complement moments of connection, laughter, and love—no matter how you celebrate.

This Valentine’s Day, pour something special, serve it with intention, and let the wine help tell your love story—one sip at a time.
