🍑 What Makes Ivanhoe Peach So Perfect for Summer?
Crafted with natural peach flavor and sweet white wine, Ivanhoe Peach is a fan favorite for a reason. It’s fruity without being syrupy, sweet but not heavy. The subtle floral notes and sun-ripened peach character make it incredibly versatile—drink it chilled on its own or mix it up in a cocktail like the Peach Porch Punch.
This is a wine made for sunny patios, small-town festivals, and summer nights under twinkling lights. In other words: a taste of Texas summer in every glass.
🧀 Snacks That Shine with Peach Wine
Great wine deserves great snacks—and the sweet, stone-fruit notes of Ivanhoe Peach pair best with light, salty, and creamy bites. Here are a few ideas to complete your summer spread:
🧀 1. Baked Brie with Peach Preserves
You really can’t go wrong with warm, gooey brie topped with peach preserves or chutney. The creamy texture balances the sweetness of the wine, and the peach-on-peach pairing is chef’s kiss.
Serve With: Buttery crackers, sliced baguette, or crostini.
🥓 2. Prosciutto-Wrapped Peach Slices
This easy bite is both elegant and addicting. Sweet, ripe peach slices wrapped in thin, salty prosciutto deliver that irresistible sweet-and-savory combo.
Optional Add-On: A small dab of goat cheese inside for extra creaminess.
🌽 3. Summer Corn Salad
Fresh corn, cherry tomatoes, red onion, feta cheese, and a zesty vinaigrette bring brightness and texture that complement the fruit-forward profile of Ivanhoe Peach.
Tip: Serve cold—it’s a refreshing contrast to the warm weather.
🍗 4. Peach Glazed Chicken Skewers
Grilled chicken skewers brushed with a homemade (or store-bought) peach glaze make a great main dish for outdoor entertaining. The wine cuts through the savory flavor and enhances the fruit notes.
Pair With: Light side salads or herbed couscous.
🍪 5. Vanilla Shortbread Cookies
If you’re ending on a sweet note, go simple and classic. Buttery shortbread or vanilla wafers are just enough to satisfy without overpowering the wine.
Serve With: Fresh berries or a scoop of peach sorbet.
☀️ Summer Moments, Texas Style
Whether you’re setting up a picnic by the lake or enjoying a quiet sunset from your backyard, Ivanhoe Peach adds a splash of joy to every summer moment.
