Here are some delicious recipes for food
and drinks when you’re snuggled up near a roaring campfire.

What are we eating?

It’s fall harvest time and that means an abundance of delicious fruits and vegetables. As the days grow cooler, it’s the perfect time to fill your house with the comforting smells of hearty meals. Think eggplant chutney, red-wine risotto, ratatouille with wild-game sausage, crepe lasagna and ooey-gooey s’mores bites!

What are we drinking?

Fall is all about laid-back activities and simple outings: cozy weekends at the cottage, hikes through the forest, fall camping excursions. In the spirit of keeping it simple, our taste tags make choosing your beverage as easy as 1, 2, 3! They’re your guide par excellence when it comes to finding the right bottle to pair with any dish. Wines with the Fruity and Light or Fruity and Vibrant taste tag are great for starting the evening off on a light and refreshing note. Serving white meat or poultry for dinner? Pop open a versatile white Aromatic and Supple or a red with the Fruity and Medium-Bodied taste tag. For a heartier meal, opt for reds bearing the Aromatic and Robust taste tag. Finally, accompany your dessert with a Fruity and Extra Sweet wine.

Comforting baguette

After a day in the great outdoors, it’s always a great pleasure to nosh on something that’s hearty and delicious. Easy to make and ready in a flash, this baguette au gratin is a tasty way to start the evening.

Thanks to its high acidity breaking up the fat of the cheese and its vegetal notes perfectly highlighting the spinach, this Touraine white is a perfect choice to enhance this recipe.

Comforting coffee

A group of socially distanced friends, sitting around a crackling fire, a carpet of fallen leaves on the ground, and a steaming cup of flavoured coffee to warm you up. What could possibly be better than that? Our Coffee Camping recipe is guaranteed to keep you warm on cool autumn nights — it’s rich and decadent and has just a splash of exotic flavour. Our secret? Marula cream — a smooth rich liqueur with notes of caramel that is great in desserts and cocktails.
