Rosé for fall? Often thought of as a summer wine– perfect for sipping by the pool or at a mid-summer brunch with the girls– this season, however, #PinkIsTheNewPumpkin and rosé is THE wine to pair with your fall food favorites. I recently attended a ‘Fall forRosé’ dinner hosted by Barefoot Wines for a rosé wine and autumnal menu pairing at the gorgeous Madera Kitchen in Hollywood, Calif. Read on for a few rosé & fall food suggestions, along with a recipe for a super tasty Barefoot Rosé Harvest Cocktail, perfect to uncork for your next dinner party or holiday gathering>>
This particular rosé is Barefoot’s “love letter to the pink-tinged classic;” with it’s soft notes of juicy cherry, watermelon and lime it not only makes for a refreshing light-bodied summer sipper, but a perfectly tasty fall dinner accompaniment as well. Barefoot offers a smooth, sweet, punch of flavor at an affordable price point, making it easy to please a crowd… even the non-wine drinkers in the group!
Rosé pairs perfectly with classic autumn flavors such as apple, maple, ginger, and pomegranate and with the following fall-favorite dishes:
- Stuffed pork chops with apple cider compote
- Rosemary pomegranate chicken
- Brie with cranberries, apples, pear and fall spices
- Roasted squash with brown butter & cinnamon
- Turkey pear salad
- Maple soy-glazed salmon
- Gingered parsnips
- Spiced pecans
- Apple, cranberry spice crumble
- Gingerbread
… and so many more! In fact, my favorite cocktail of the evening was a delicious rosé harvest martini– a beautiful blend of Barefoot’s rosé, tart pomegranate juice with a hint of sweetness and warmth of vanilla. Follow the recipe below for this sweet and yummy fall rosé harvest cocktail featuring Barefoot Rosé wine. You can find Barefoot Wine at your local grocery store, wine superstore or on Amazon.

Oooh! I love rosé – got hooked on the lovely dry rosés in France during our trip! I made an awesome frosé recipe this summer. I mean, is there anything better than rosé slush? LOL!
Rose is my absolute favorite drink!
I’m definitely a rosé drinker all year round, haha. These recipes look yummy!
This sounds AMAZING! Thank you so much. I especially appreciate you giving suggestions for meals to go with. Nothing like a perfectly paired entree and cocktail.
Rose is my favorite! This sounds like a great cocktail!
This table setup looks so familiar and I remembered we had the same event here in Dallas! Their Harvest Cocktail was so yummy!
Ohh sounds good! Love me some rosé.
My roommates and I are having a “Friendsgiving” this year and this sounds like the perfect cocktail to serve!
This sounds delicious! And it looks so pretty!
Totally saving this recipe for later! I only just discovered my love for rosé about two months ago, and my fiancé and I can’t stop, won’t stop! It’s so delicious and refreshing and we also love mixed drinks, so this cocktail is totally up our alley! Thanks for sharing!
That’s awesome! If you love rosé & mixed drinks you will love this recipe– it’s so tasty! I suggest taste-testing before adding the simple syrup though and adjusting the sweetness to your liking. Enjoy!
