Farmers Market Treasures and Beaulieu Vineyard Wines

At the break of dawn, as the local farmers market bustles with life and vibrant produce, we at Beaulieu Vineyard find inspiration. Each stand, much like each of our wine bottles, tells a tale of dedication, heritage, and the earth's rich bounty. Continue reading for some of our favorite farmers market offerings and Beaulieu Vineyard wines to pair them with.

Peaches and Reserve Chardonnay

One of our favorite market finds, the juicy summer peach, pairs magically with Beaulieu Vineyard Reserve Carneros Chardonnay. The wine's creamy texture and nuances of citrus complement the sweetness of the peach, creating a delightful dance of flavors. A simple peach and tomato caprese salad served with this wine offers a sensory escape to sunny California vineyards.

Root Vegetables and Tapestry Reserve Red Wine

Rich in earthy flavors, these vibrant carrots, beets, and parsnips beg for a wine with complexity and depth, like Beaulieu Vineyard Tapestry Reserve Red Wine. With notes of dark fruits, spices, and well-integrated tannins, Tapestry Reserve makes an excellent partner for a dish that celebrates these root vegetables' hearty flavors.

Eggplant and Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

The deep purple hues of glossy eggplants call out for a wine with character, much like Beaulieu Vineyard Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. The richness of grilled eggplant layered with savory lamb, drizzled with a refreshing mint pesto, resonates with the wine's full-bodied notes, crafting a truly memorable meal.
