What is Ivanhoe Peach?
Homestead Winery’s Ivanhoe Peach is a sweet white wine with a distinctive peach flavor that immediately transports you to sunny orchards and warm breezes. The wine is carefully crafted to highlight the natural sweetness of ripe peaches, making it a deliciously fruity option for those who enjoy lighter, sweeter wines. Its smooth, refreshing nature makes it an ideal choice for summer sipping, though it can be enjoyed year-round for a taste of sunshine no matter the season.
This wine is a go-to for wine lovers who appreciate a balance between sweetness and flavor. While some sweet wines can be overly sugary or one-dimensional, Ivanhoe Peach offers a more refined experience. The fruit-forward nature of the wine allows the peach flavors to shine without becoming cloying, making each sip as refreshing as the first.
A Perfect Summer Wine
There’s no denying that Ivanhoe Peach is a quintessential summer wine. Its light, fruity profile and sweet finish make it an excellent choice for outdoor gatherings, barbecues, picnics, and poolside relaxation. Just imagine pouring a chilled glass of Ivanhoe Peach on a hot summer day, the peach aromas filling the air as the wine cools you from the inside out. It’s the perfect companion for sunny afternoons and warm evenings spent with friends and family.
One of the best things about Ivanhoe Peach is its versatility. It’s a wine that can be enjoyed on its own as a sweet and satisfying sipper, or it can be the star of a more elaborate cocktail or sangria. Its fruit-forward flavor and light body make it an excellent base for mixing with other fruits, sparkling water, or spirits, adding a fresh, summery touch to any drink you create.
The Ideal Base for a Fruity Sangria
If you’re a fan of sangria, you’ll love how well Ivanhoe Peach works in fruity, summery variations of this classic cocktail. The natural peach flavor of the wine pairs beautifully with a variety of fresh fruits and juices, making it an ideal base for crafting refreshing sangria blends. Simply add your favorite white cranberry/strawberry juice. Then add seasonal fruits of your choice, such as strawberries, oranges, or even more peaches. Next add a splash of sparkling water or soda, and you’ve got a crowd-pleasing sangria that’s perfect for parties or leisurely afternoons.
Whether you prefer a white wine sangria with lighter fruits or a more tropical mix with pineapple and mango, Ivanhoe Peach provides the perfect foundation for a flavorful and refreshing drink. The wine’s sweetness complements the tartness of fresh fruits, while its peachy undertones enhance the overall fruity profile of the sangria. For an added burst of flavor, consider garnishing your sangria with fresh mint or basil, which will add a touch of herbaceous taste to balance the sweetness.
Pairing Ivanhoe Peach with Food
While Ivanhoe Peach is delicious on its own, it also pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes. Its sweetness and fruity character make it an excellent match for light, summery fare, such as salads, fruit platters, and grilled seafood. The wine’s peachy undertones complement the natural sweetness of fresh fruits and vegetables, while its refreshing acidity balances richer, more savory flavors.
For a fun and flavorful pairing, try serving Ivanhoe Peach alongside a fruit and cheese platter. Soft, creamy cheeses like brie or goat cheese are a perfect match for the wine’s sweet, fruity notes, while sharper cheeses like aged cheddar provide a pleasant contrast to the wine’s smooth finish.
Ivanhoe Peach also shines when paired with desserts, particularly those that feature fresh fruits or light, sweet flavors. Think peach cobbler, lemon sorbet, or a simple bowl of berries with whipped cream. The wine’s peachy sweetness will enhance the flavors of these dishes without overpowering them, making for a deliciously harmonious pairing.

Its light, fruity nature makes it approachable for wine drinkers of all experience levels, while its natural sweetness and refreshing finish ensure that it’s a crowd-pleaser no matter where or how it’s served.
