Thanksgiving is a celebration of tradition, but that doesn’t mean you can’t take a detour and pour something from beyond our borders. While we love our domestic wines (and we’ve already shared our top picks for the holiday in our previous blog post here), there are plenty of delicious international options that deserve a place on your table, too.
After all, there’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to wine pairings—drink what you like! That said, lighter, livelier, and lower-alcohol wines tend to play well with the spread, but at the end of the day, it’s your table, your wine, your rules. So, whether you're a fan of French Pinot, Italian Barbera, or a refreshing Sauvignon Blanc, these international wines are here to elevate your Thanksgiving. No matter what you pour, we’re confident these options will bring something special to your table.
This Morgon from Beaujolais’ prized vineyard is simply irresistible. With bold fruit and an elegant structure, it’s got both weight and easy drinkability — especially with a light chill! A knockout value, it’s perfect alongside roast turkey and stuffing, and it holds up beautifully with mashed potatoes too.
Nebbiolo, but not as you know it! This fresh, lighter take offers aromas of mountain berries and floral notes, with a light, silky texture that’s charming and unique. We recommend a slight chill to really bring out the fruit and pair it with charcuterie or cranberry sauce. We’re cracking this one open for sure!
From Italy’s first certified organic winery, this Barbera brims with bright red berries and zesty acidity. Aged without oak, it’s full of life, showing off a purity that’s delicious with just about any hearty side on the Thanksgiving table. This Barbera has real depth and energy — it’s pure Thanksgiving joy in a bottle.
A lively Alsatian Pinot Noir that’s smooth, fresh, and perfect for Thanksgiving’s lighter fare. With notes of red berries, subtle spice, and a touch of earthiness, it’s both elegant and down-to-earth. A wonderful pairing for roast turkey or mushroom dishes, this Pinot is ready to impress without stealing the show.
Nothing says celebration like Prosecco! Go with the crowd-pleaser 90+ or elevate the day with Altaneve’s Valdobbiadene. Either way, it’s the perfect way to kick off the meal with a touch of sparkle. Pair with appetizers like shrimp cocktail, cheese boards, or your favorite holiday hors d'oeuvres.
Rosé isn’t just for summer, and this gem proves it. Bursting with ripe red berries and a crisp, fruity finish, it’s a delightful match for holiday starters, roasted turkey, and even cranberry sauce. Perfectly balanced and refreshing, it’s the rosé you’ll want at the table.
This is classic Chablis at its finest, with a clean, mineral edge and just enough fruit. It’s rich without being heavy, with that saline freshness we love from Chablis. Perfect for turkey, buttery mashed potatoes, or even oysters if you’re feeling fancy! A true standout to bring sophistication to the table.
