Which Wines Pair Best With Halloween Candy?

What could be better than raiding the kids’ candy stash after a long afternoon of trick-or-treating? A glass of wine to go with it!

Layers of decadent chocolate…crunchy peanuts…a rich stripe of golden caramel…and the perfectly fruity glass of wine to bring it all together. Whether it’s Halloween or the other 364 days of the year when candy is delicious, a glass of the right wine will take your favorite sweets to the next level. Here are a few wines that are sure to be a “treat.”

Sour Patch Kids
A bubbly, fruity Moscato enhances the vibrant flavor of any sour candy.

Skittles
If you’re thinking Halloween candy and wine will pack a sugary punch, not all Rieslings are super sweet. An off-dry bottle accents these colorful flavors perfectly.

Kit-Kat
Red Zinfandel’s smooth fruitiness brings out the creamy quality of an otherwise plain chocolate.

Snickers
Nutty candies go well with the bold berry notes of Merlot. Their complexity is a perfect match for a dry red.

Twix
The richness of a dessert wine like Port is magical when paired with a caramel-filled goody.

Mounds
The intensity of dark chocolate goes best with something robust. Savor this coconut candy with a Syrah or Cabernet.


Pinot Noir & Peanut Butter Cups
The ripe notes of cherry, cranberry, and spice in bright Pinot Noir will add a pop of jammy fruit to your rich peanut butter cups. It’s like PB&J, reimagined for grown-ups.
