There’s something magical about October in New England — the crisp autumn air, colorful foliage, and comforting fall flavors we look forward to all year long!

At LaBelle Winery, we believe food and wine are best enjoyed together, and the right LaBelle wine can take your favorite autumn treats to the next level. Here are our four delicious, October-inspired food and wine pairings featuring LaBelle wines that capture the essence of October in New England:

PAIRING #1: Apple Pie & LaBelle Dry apple Wine

Nothing says autumn quite like a warm slice of classic apple pie! Pair it with LaBelle Winery’s Dry Apple Wine which provides a crisp and refreshing sip while enhancing the natural sweetness of the warm apple pie. The wine’s dry finish balances the pie’s rich, buttery crust for a classic New England pairing that can be enjoyed within the comfort of your home!

PAIRING #2: Butternut squash soup & LaBelle riesling

Rich and velvety butternut squash soup pairs beautifully with LaBelle Winery’s Riesling. The wine’s bright acidity and delicate fruit notes cut through the soup’s creaminess and savory richness. The result is a beautifully balanced pairing that feels both cozy and elegant – perfect for small fall dinners at home or to impress your friends and family at larger gatherings with this pairing!

We love this fun and unique October pairing! LaBelle Winery’s Chardonnay offers a smooth, crisp mouthfeel with hints of vanilla and oak that complement the sweetness of candy corn. Together, they create a playful pairing that brings a touch of sophistication to this nostalgic and classic Halloween candy.

PAIRING #4: cider donuts & LaBelle spiced WInter pear wine

Fresh cider donuts dusted with cinnamon sugar meet their perfect match when paired with LaBelle Winery’s Spiced Winter Pear Wine. Our wine’s subtle sweetness and soft spice notes match the warm flavors of autumn, creating a comforting and nostalgic combination!
