Wineries of the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail have paired up to create wonderful weekend of wine and food pairings. Join us for a progressive tasting along the trail and enhance your appreciation and enjoyment of our wines paired with delicious samples.
By featuring pairings at select locations for each event, we’ve created a collaborative approach that allows guests more time to relax, linger, and fully enjoy each tasting. The goal is to create a more comfortable and immersive experience while still celebrating the spirit of the Wine Trail as a whole.
Experience the flavors of fall during Autumn Inspirations, a seasonal wine and food pairing event along the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail. As the hills transform into brilliant shades of gold, crimson, and amber, participating wineries will showcase thoughtfully crafted autumn-inspired bites paired with their award-winning wines. Discover how the rich flavors of the harvest season—from crisp apples and warm spices to hearty savory dishes—come alive when paired with the perfect glass of wine. Each pairing is designed to highlight and enhance both the food and the wine, creating a delicious and memorable tasting experience.
