Rosé has become a favorite drink, from outdoor barbecues on sunny days to lively brunches on cool winter mornings. No matter the season, rosé truly lives up to its name. And we get to drink it once a year on the official National Rosé Day! Here’s everything you need to know about this delightful holiday and how to celebrate it this year.
What Makes Rosé So Special?
If you’ve ever had a chilled rosé on a hot summer day, you might have wondered, “Why is this so special?” The answer lies in its beautiful versatility. Made from red wine grapes, rosé gets its color from limited contact with the grape skins, giving it a lighter, refreshing tone.
What Does Rosé Taste Like?
There are many different rosé varieties—from dry to sweet—that you can explore based on your personal preferences. You’ll notice hints of strawberries, raspberries, and citrus, creating a refreshing and satisfying glass of wine, especially during the summer.
When is National Rosé Day?
On the second Saturday in June, rosé lovers around the country raise a glass of this beloved wine every year. National Rosé Day is not only a chance to appreciate the drink itself but also an opportunity to gather with friends and loved ones to enjoy the flavors and traditions of rosé.
How to Celebrate National Rosé Day
Want to join in on the fun this National Rosé Day? Here is a list of ideas for celebrating National Rose Day this year.
Host a Tasting Party
Invite friends over for a rosé tasting! It’s a fun way to explore a variety of rosés from around the world. We recommend featuring six bottles, ranging from sweet to dry. You can even pair each wine with an appetizer to help bring out the unique flavor profiles. Great pairings include fresh goat cheese, smoked salmon, crostini with tomato and basil, or a charcuterie board with prosciutto and olives.
Brunch with a Rosé
Rosé and brunch are perfect, so why not enjoy brunch with a glass of rosé on National Rosé Day? Get creative by serving a Dry Rosé with brunch favorites like avocado toast, eggs Benedict, and a smoked salmon bagel—sparkling rosé pairs wonderfully with omelets with herbs and cheese, crepes, and oysters.
Have a Rosé All Day Pool Party
“Rosé All Day” has become a popular term in recent years, meaning to enjoy rosé outdoors, whether barbecuing or poolside, because it’s the perfect drink for any sunny day. One of the best ways to embrace the “Rosé All Day” lifestyle is by hosting a pool party. Chill the rosé in buckets so guests can enjoy it throughout the day. The refreshing and crisp taste of chilled rosé will cool everyone down on hot days while also providing a fun, bubbly buzz.
Try Rosé Cocktails
Want to spice up your glass of rosé? You can! Get creative by experimenting with rosé-based cocktails, like rosé sangria, rosé lemonade spritzers, or a refreshing rosé punch. These are perfect for a barbecue or summer party. The spritzers offer memorable summer flavors, while the rosé adds an extra kick to take the drinks to the next level.
