Autumn Entertaining Ideas


Autumn is here.  As temperatures cool, many begin to shift focus to indoor entertaining.  Suppose you would like to have a few friends over, but are tired of the same old, boring potluck dinner.  Here are some interesting ideas for Autumn wine parties.

  • Host a wine and cheese party.  It's easy on the entertaining budget and here at the winery, we have a good selection of shelf stable cheese along with several cheese ball/dip mixes.  Yes, I know that that seems the same old, same old, but you can spice it up a bit by serving salsa.  

  •  How about tasting some new wines?  To make the event interesting, have a blind tasting and have everyone rate and discuss their most favorite and least favorite selections.

  • How about a night at the movies?  Know your guests.  Pick something all would enjoy. Decorate to the theme.  Maybe invite the guests to dress up as their favorite character.  You could get everyone to imitate a scene from a favorite movie.

  • Host a book reading discussion, either from folks reading the same book or discussing their current reads.

These are just a few thoughts.  The key is having a good time with good friends and of course good wine.  Enjoy.
