Bold Flavors, Cozy Vibes: Fall with Our Fruit-Forward Dry Red Wine, Bois D’Arc🍷

As the summer heat fades and the Texas air begins to cool, it’s time to swap out the chilled whites and citrusy cocktails for something a little richer, a little cozier—and every bit as flavorful. 🍂

Enter Bois D’Arc, Homestead Winery’s bold and beautifully balanced fruit-forward dry red wine. With rich berry notes, a smooth finish, and just enough structure to stand up to hearty fall dishes, it’s the perfect bottle to open as the leaves start to turn.

Whether you’re planning a casual fall gathering, a cozy evening on the porch, or simply stocking your wine rack for cooler days ahead, Bois D’Arc is a seasonal essential that feels right at home in every moment.

🍇 Meet Bois D’Arc: A Dry Red With a Juicy Twist

Bois D’Arc may be one of the most popular wines in our lineup—and for good reason. It delivers that perfect fall combo: the body and depth of a red wine, with bright, fruit-forward flavors that don’t weigh you down.

This isn’t your typical heavy red. It’s smooth and approachable, with notes of ripe berries and subtle spice, all balanced by a clean, dry finish. It’s what we like to call a “gateway red” for folks who are newer to wine, but it’s also complex enough to satisfy seasoned red wine lovers. 🍷💫

Bois D’Arc is made to be enjoyed without fuss. Serve it slightly below room temperature and let the flavors unfold with each sip.

🍽️ What to Pair with a Fruit-Forward Dry Red Wine

A wine like Bois D’Arc is incredibly food-friendly, which makes it a go-to for entertaining, weeknight dinners, or lazy Sunday snacking. It plays well with both sweet and savory flavors and really shines when paired with seasonal ingredients.

Here are some of our favorite fall-inspired pairings that let Bois D’Arc take the lead:

🧀 1. Baked Brie with Fig Jam

Let’s start with a classic. A round of creamy brie baked until melty, topped with rich fig jam and wrapped in golden puff pastry is the perfect match for the deep berry notes in Bois D’Arc.

Serve With: Apple slices, crostini, or rosemary crackers for extra flavor.

🫓 2. Sausage & Cheddar Flatbread

Need something a little heartier? Try a rustic flatbread topped sharp cheddar, crumbled sausage and whatever other toppings you like! The wine’s berry-forward profile cuts through the richness of the cheese and meat for a beautifully balanced bite.

Bonus Tip: Sprinkle with chopped rosemary or arugula for a pop of color and freshness 🌿.

🥜 3. Spiced Nuts

Warm, candied, or lightly spiced nuts are a great snack to keep on the table during any gathering. Think roasted pecans, almonds, or walnuts tossed in cinnamon, cayenne, and a hint of brown sugar.

Pro Tip: Serve them warm for extra coziness 🔥.

🍫 4. Dark Chocolate & Berry Dessert Board

Chocolate and red wine? Always a win. Add some dried cherries, raspberries, and chocolate-covered almonds to a dessert board and you’ve got the perfect sweet ending to a fall evening.

Perfect For: Casual hangouts, movie nights, or date nights in 🍫🍷.
