The Ultimate Easter Brunch Board & Wine Pairings

Easter brunch is more than just a meal; it’s a celebration of spring, renewal, and—of course—delicious food and wine. Whether you’re hosting a festive gathering or enjoying a cozy brunch at home, curating the perfect Easter brunch board with expertly paired wines will elevate your holiday experience.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to craft a visually stunning Easter brunch board with fresh, flavorful ingredients and pair it with Monterey Pinot Noir and Sparkling Moscato for an unforgettable dining experience.

Simple Steps to a Beautiful Brunch Spread

Creating a balanced, colorful, and delicious Easter brunch board is all about variety. Follow these simple steps:

1. Choose Your Bread Base

Start with a solid foundation like toasted whole wheat bread or artisanal sourdough. These options provide a hearty texture and subtle flavors that enhance both sweet and savory toppings.

2. Select a Creamy Spread

A layer of cream cheese adds a smooth, slightly tangy flavor that pairs beautifully with fresh vegetables and proteins. You can also experiment with goat cheese or Greek yogurt for a different twist.

3. Add a Rainbow of Veggies

Fresh vegetables bring crunch, color, and bright flavors to your board. Consider including:

• Green bell peppers
• Sliced avocado
• Red onion (thinly sliced)
• Heirloom tomatoes
• Crisp cucumber
• Arugula
• Fresh dill

4. Incorporate Protein-Rich Toppings

Enhance your board with a mix of protein-packed ingredients:

• Sliced cheddar cheese
• Sliced turkey
• Smoked salmon
• Fried eggs
• Hard-boiled eggs

5. Arrange & Serve

Display all ingredients on a large wooden cutting board or a serving platter for an inviting, shareable experience. Encourage guests to mix and match their favorite combinations!

Best Wine Pairings for Your Easter Brunch Board

With a variety of flavors on your board, choosing the right wine enhances the meal. Here are two perfect pairings:

Monterey Pinot Noir: The Elegant Choice

A light-to-medium-bodied Monterey Pinot Noir is a fantastic companion to turkey-based toasts. Its bright acidity and cranberry notes enhance the savory flavors of turkey while complementing the creaminess of cheese and eggs.

Why It Works:

• Smooth tannins and fruity notes contrast beautifully with turkey and cheddar.
• The acidity balances the richness of cream cheese and eggs.
• The subtle earthiness complements the smoky depth of salmon.

Sparkling Moscato: A Sweet & Refreshing Contrast

For a vibrant and playful pairing, Sparkling Moscato is the way to go. Its sweetness contrasts beautifully with the savory elements on your board, while the bubbles cleanse the palate between bites.

Why It Works:

• The fruity sweetness balances the tanginess of cream cheese and fresh veggies.
• Effervescence refreshes the palate after each bite.
• The lively flavor profile enhances the bright, fresh taste of tomatoes and bell peppers.
