Our Seven Springs Wine

Wine pairing may seem like a complicated art where you have to perform all sorts of fancy wine rituals. First, you have to smell the wine, then swish the wine, and finally roll it around your mouth until it's completely coated while following it up with a bit of the most delicate chocolate. You can actually enjoy any type of wine pairing, and you don't have to include any specific form of enjoyment (though you can if you want to!). Wine pairing is simply about finding two flavors that go together in your mouth like peanut butter and chocolate. You can try any of our wine pairings, or you can make some up on your own. Come grab a few bottles of our amazing wine at the Lake of the Ozarks and start trying them with your favorite candies!
