Wine & Food Pairing Weekends
11 wineries of the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail have paired up to create three wonderful, themed, wine and food pairing events. We invite you to join us for a progressive tasting along the trail and enhance your appreciation and enjoyment of our wines paired with delicious samples.
Celebrate the bountiful fall harvest with seasonally inspired dishes during a progressive tasting along the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail. Our member wineries have created savory autumn inspired dishes and paired them with their award-winning wines to enhance the flavors of both the wine and the food. This is a fun way to showcase how wine plays the perfect supporting role to our everyday meals.
Our wineries are all open for regular business hours during this event.
Autumn Inspirations – November 7-8, 2025
