Raise a Glass to Sunshine: Perfect Wines for Summer Sipping
We offer all types of these light wines, so enhance your painting and sipping experience with some easy to pack and go snacks!
Here are some of the perfect wines to raise a glass to sunshine this season:
---- Sauvignon Blanc ----
Bright, zesty, and full of citrusy charm, Sauvignon Blanc is a summer classic. With notes of lime, green apple, and grassy undertones, it pairs beautifully with grilled veggies, fresh salads, and seafood. It's a go-to wine when you want something that’s crisp and thirst-quenching on a hot day.

---- Rosé ----
Rosé isn’t just a trend—it’s a seasonal must-have. Made from red grapes with minimal skin contact, rosé gives you a light-bodied wine with a pop of fruity flavor. Expect hints of strawberry, watermelon, and sometimes citrus or herbs. Serve it chilled and sip it during golden hour, brunch, or while painting something pink and playful.

---- Riesling ----
Often slightly sweet and packed with stone fruit flavors like apricot and peach, Riesling is great for summer sipping—especially if you’re enjoying spicy foods or outdoor BBQs. The balance of sweetness and acidity makes it incredibly refreshing and food-friendly.

---- Sparkling Wine ----
(Prosecco, Cava, or Champagne)
Because every sunny day is worth celebrating. Bubbles bring the fun—and their bright acidity and light effervescence make sparkling wines a refreshing choice for summer. Whether you’re toasting by the pool or kicking off a paint-and-sip party, sparkling wine is a crowd-pleaser that makes any gathering feel festive.
---- Chilled Light Reds ----
(like Pinot Noir or Gamay)
Red wine lovers, rejoice—you don’t have to give it up for summer. Try a light-bodied red, served slightly chilled. Wines like Pinot Noir or Beaujolais (made from Gamay grapes) offer fruity flavors without the heaviness of traditional reds. They’re fantastic with grilled meats, mushroom dishes, and summer evenings around the fire pit.
** Bonus Pairing: Wine + Creativity
Looking to make your summer wine experience even more memorable? Pair it with a paintbrush. Sip while you create your own sunset scene or fruity still life at a paint-and-sip event. It's the perfect combo of creativity, conversation, and cool refreshments.
Whatever your plans this summer—whether they include beach days, backyard dinners, or creating art with friends—there’s a wine to match. So pop a bottle, pour a glass, and savor the season. After all, sunshine pairs well with just about everything, especially wine.
