31 October, 2025
Days are growing shorter, which means that the Festive Period is here! Time to start the countdown to Christmas, the time spent with your wonderful family and delicious food. We are here to show you some of our delicious wines paired with Elite Pubs‘ festive favourites!
King Scallops & Chorizo Kebab
Pairs well with Bacchus Fume
The Bacchus Fume has been perfectly oaked to create the perfect partner to spicy dishes and seafood, making it the ideal partner of the King Scallops & Chorizo Kebab starter. What a way to start your festive meal! Paired with spiced apple and celeriac slaw, this combination of flavours will truly blow you away.
Persian Spiced Beetroot Salad
Pairs well with Pinot Noir
Served with lentils, figs, seeds, Ras al Hanout & Orange Dressing is the perfect light starter to your festive meal. The warm Persian spices will wake up your taste buds, ready for the rest of your delicious festive meal. This salad complements the berry and nutty flavours of the easy-drinking Pinot Noir.
Goat’s Cheese & Caramelised Pear Ravioli
Pairs well with Chardonnay
Make sure to try their stunning goat’s cheese and caramelised pear ravioli, accompanied by kale & walnut pesto, parmesan & radish salad. This is the perfect vegetarian meal, which will keep you warm and cosy. Our newly released Chardonnay is a firm favourite and partners well with this dish, the flavours of sherbet, yellow grapefruit and golden delicious apple that suit the earthy, nutty flavours that come from the goat’s cheese.
Rye Bay Seabass fillet
Pairs well with Bacchus
If you haven’t tried the Rye Bay Seabass with Jerusalem artichoke risotto, tenderstem broccoli, cider & chorizo sauce, you are missing out. This delicate but filling meal elegantly complements the crisp flavours of green apple and gooseberry that the Bacchus brings. Making this dish the ultimate tummy filler this season!
Traditional Christmas Pudding
Pairs well with Pinot Noir
A staple for every Festive table, a Christmas Pudding cannot be missed, served with the classic red currants and brandy sauce. The warm spices from this iconic dish pair beautifully with the Pinot Noir, due to the spicy oak, dried raspberry and strawberry notes. The best way to end your Christmas meal.
The Golden Mess
Pairs well with Ciel
A new addition to the festive menu, this lemon curd dessert is partnered with Winter Berries, Chantilly cream and gingerbread biscuits. This rich and delicious pudding will be the one to tip you over the edge. The fruity dessert complements the fuller-bodied rose, with the red apple, strawberries and cream flavour. The Golden Mess dessert and Ciel Rosé combination is the definition of partners in crime.
