Thanksgiving is a time to gather, give thanks, and, of course, eat (and sip!) well. From rich casseroles to roasted turkey and every side dish in between, finding the right wines to complement your feast can make all the difference. To help you prep like a pro, our team at Potomac Point Winery has curated the ultimate Thanksgiving wine guide — inspired by our limited-time Pie & Wine Flight, available November 13th–23rd in the Bistro & Wine Tents.
 Dessert First: Our Pie & Wine Flight
Before we dive into the main course, let’s talk dessert. This year’s lineup is as sweet as it gets — and doubles as inspiration for your Thanksgiving wine shopping list.
  • Sweet Potato Pie + Petit Manseng ‘24
    This pairing is like a cozy blanket in a glass. The rich, tropical notes of our Petit Manseng ‘24 complement the pie’s toasted marshmallow top and warm spice beautifully.
  • Pumpkin Pie + Rabelos Port
    Pumpkin spice meets silky sweetness. The Rabelos Port’s deep caramel and fig notes highlight the pumpkin’s earthy richness for the perfect post-feast sip.
  • Apple Pie + Moscato Dolce
    Crisp, juicy apple meets delicate sweetness. The Moscato Dolce enhances every buttery, cinnamon bite — a refreshing end to a hearty meal.
Each flight is $17 and a fun way to get in the Thanksgiving spirit (and test which bottles to bring home for the big day!).
 What to Pour with Thanksgiving Classics
Roast Turkey
  • Pair with: Chardonnay Reserve or Viognier
    Our Chardonnay adds buttery roundness to juicy white meat, while Viognier offers a floral lift that complements herb-seasoned turkey and gravy.
Mashed Potatoes & Gravy
  • Pair with: Merlot
    Creamy mashed potatoes love a soft, medium-bodied red. Our Merlot offers plum and spice notes that meld perfectly with savory gravy.
Sweet Potato Casserole
  • Pair with: Petit Manseng ‘24
    The same wine that pairs with sweet potato pie shines here too! Its bright acidity and honeyed fruit cut through the richness of brown sugar and marshmallows.
Green Bean Casserole
  • Pair with: Chardonnay or Rosé
    Earthy green beans and crispy onions call for something with texture and freshness. Try our Chardonnay for a richer feel or Rosé for a crisp contrast.
Cornbread or Creamed Corn
  • Pair with: La Belle Vie White
    The natural sweetness of corn pairs beautifully with a gently sweet white. La Belle Vie’s floral notes, and citrus pop both bring out the best in this comforting side.
️ The “All-in-One” Plate Pairing
When your Thanksgiving plate is stacked high with a little bit of everything (and whose isn’t?), your best bet is a wine that can handle it all.
Best All-Around Choice: Viognier
Our Viognier bridges the gap between white and red lovers — offering enough body to stand up to stuffing and turkey, yet enough freshness to play nicely with cranberry sauce and creamy sides.
Or, for red wine fans, opt for Cabernet Franc. Its subtle spice and smooth finish complement the entire Thanksgiving lineup without overpowering it.
 Bring PPW to Your Table
Whether you’re hosting or just in charge of the wine (lucky you!), Potomac Point Winery has the perfect pairings for every dish on the table. Visit us before Thanksgiving to enjoy our Pie & Wine Flight (Nov. 13–23) and take home your new favorite bottles for the holiday.
Cheers to great wine, good food, and even better company.
