Wine and ice cream have amazing pairing potential. Here are some of the flavor combinations we recommend. These work well for floats, milkshakes, or just bowls of ice cream with toppings.

  • Chocolate Ice Cream + Chambourcin Wine + Strawberries
  • Mango Sorbet + Vignoles Wine + Pineapple
  • Vanilla Ice Cream + Concord Wine + Raspberries or Black Grapes
  • Vanilla Ice Cream + Vidal Blanc Wine + Melon
  • Dark Chocolate Ice Cream Wine + Norton + Cherries
  • Vanilla Ice Cream + Sweet Sparkling Wine + Raspberries

 

Turn your favorite wine into a syrup that is perfect for topping ice cream. It’s so easy! Add 1   part wine to 1.5 parts sugar and bring to a simmer in a saucepan. Simmer until reduced to desired thickness. Let cool and drizzle away! If you are using a sweet wine, you can add less sugar.

Whichever frozen treat you choose to enjoy, don’t forget the Missouri wine! What a delicious way to beat the heat this summer. Cheers!
