The best food pairings for rosé

Rosé was once considered a summer wine but increasingly more people are drinking it year round with almost every type of food and on any and every occasion. But what food goes with rosé? As with white or red wine, the best pairings depends on the style of rosé you’re drinking and whether they’re dry, sweet or sparkling.

With so many types of rosé on the market, it can be tricky to know what to serve alongside each bottle. Should you go for something light and fresh or rich and savory? The right pairing can turn a good meal into a great one, and I’m here to guide you through the process.

In this guide, I’ll take you through eight distinct styles of rosé—from the bone-dry Provençal classics to sweet and sparkling blush wines. For each style, I’ll share my top food pairings that bring out the best in both the wine and the dish. Whether you’re planning a casual brunch, a seafood feast, or even a spicy barbecue, there’s a rosé and a match for every occasion.

The best food pairings for 8 different styles of rosé

1) Crisp dry rosés - e.g. Most Provençal rosés fall into this category as does Italian Bardolino Chiaretto
The nearest equivalent to this style of rosé are crisp dry white wines such as Pinot Grigio and they go with similar food. Food pairings for most Provencal rosé and similar dry rosés include light salads, light pasta and rice dishes, raw or lightly cooked shellfish like oysters, grilled fish and goats’ cheeses.

Dry Sancere rose is often overlooked and a versatile wine.
