Our Suggested Pairings
Classic Cabernet & Our Cookie Caramel Bar
Our Cookie Caramel Bar meets its match in a bold Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine’s black fruit notes and firm tannins complement the buttery caramel and cookie crunch, while its natural acidity cuts through the richness of the chocolate. The result? A harmonious dance of flavors that brings out the best in both.
Malbec’s Southern Charm with Our Virginia Peanut Butter Cups
There’s something magical about the way our Virginia Peanut Butter Cups interact with a glass of Malbec. The wine’s plum and blackberry notes enhance the roasted peanut flavors, while its velvety texture mirrors the smooth chocolate. This pairing proves that sometimes the best matches come from unexpected places.
Bubbles & Bourbon: Sparkling Rosé meets Founding Spirits Bourbon Caramels
Our Founding Spirits Bourbon Caramels find their perfect match in a Sparkling Rosé. The effervescence cleanses the palate between bites, while the wine’s subtle sweetness complements the caramel’s bourbon notes. Made with our own Founding Spirits Bourbon, these caramels create an especially sophisticated tasting experience when paired with bubbles.
Chardonnay’s Golden Touch with our Butta-Finga
The buttery notes of a well-crafted Chardonnay mirror the creamy layers of our Founding Farmers Butta-Finga. The wine’s subtle oak and vanilla notes enhance the chocolate’s rich profile, while its bright acidity keeps the pairing fresh and engaging. These complementary flavors create something spectacular.
