Whether you’re enjoying fresh seafood on Long Island, sizzling barbecue in the Hudson Valley, or a hearty pasta dish upstate, there’s a New York wine that can take your meal to the next level. To make it easier than ever to pair your favorite dishes with the perfect local pour, the New York Wine & Grape Foundation (NYWGF) is proud to share its multilingual New York Wines Food Pairing Guides, available in English, French, Korean, and Japanese.
These expertly curated guides are more than just a list—they’re your passport to unforgettable meals, built around the unique characteristics of New York’s world-class wines. With approachable recommendations across Red, White, Rosé, Sparkling, and Hybrid varietals, the guides are designed to help you pair everything from Beef and Poultry to Spicy Foods, Shellfish, and Vegetarian fare with confidence and flair.
Why is New York wine such a natural match for food? The answer lies in the region’s cool climate, which produces wines with lower alcohol and higher acidity—a combination that makes them incredibly food-friendly. These wines are bright, balanced, and built to complement, not overpower, your plate.
The New York Wines Food Pairing Guides are available free to download on NYWGF’s Resources Page here. Whether you’re a curious consumer, a restaurant professional, or a wine educator, these guides offer a practical, easy-to-use tool for discovering the ideal New York wine for any meal.
For those who prefer something tangible, professionally printed copies of the guides can also be ordered through nywgfstore.com for use in tasting rooms, restaurants, or events.
This initiative reflects NYWGF’s growing commitment to engaging both local and global audiences. With translations in French, Korean, and Japanese, the guides not only support domestic consumers but also wine lovers and trade partners around the world, highlighting the international appeal of New York’s wine regions.
So whether you’re planning a backyard dinner, a holiday feast, or just looking to try something new, let these pairing guides be your go-to source. After all, whatever your meal, there’s a New York wine waiting to make it better.
