Easter Entertaining: Elegant Tablescape & Wine Pairing Guide
Easter entertaining is one of the joys of spring—a time to gather loved ones for a beautifully curated meal. Whether you’re hosting a grand Easter brunch or an intimate dinner, creating a stunning tablescape and selecting the right wines can elevate your celebration. This guide will help you design an elegant table setting while ensuring your wine selections complement every bite.
The Wines of the Season
Our picks this Easter are our Monterey County Pinot Noir and Sparkling Moscato. When gathering for a family-style meal, it’s best to offer a variety of wines.
- Pinot Noir: A light-bodied red with bright acidity and silky tannins that complement both savory and slightly sweet dishes. It pairs beautifully with glazed ham, roasted lamb, and herb-driven sides.
- Sparkling Moscato: Delicate sweetness and lively effervescence balance salty, creamy, and spicy flavors. Perfect with deviled eggs, honey-roasted carrots, and buttery hot cross buns.
Offering both wines ensures there’s something for every palate, enhancing the flavors of a festive, family-style feast.
Creating the Perfect Easter Tablescape
A thoughtfully designed tablescape sets the tone for your gathering, making guests feel welcomed and delighted. Here’s how to craft a stylish and inviting Easter table:
Place Settings
What You’ll Need:
- Square napkins (21” wide)
- Brown faux eggs (the more spots, the better!)
- Twine
What To Do:
- Fold a square napkin in half to make a triangle.
- Fold the top tip of the triangle down so that it touches the bottom.
- Fold the flat top down to the middle of the shape, and then once more so that the napkin is now long and narrow (about 2” wide).
- Set the egg in the middle of the napkin and pull the ends together to be tied together with a piece of twine.
- Set the egg portion on the bottom of the plate at each place setting, and then curl each end to mimic the curl of a bunny’s ear.
Florals For Easter Entertaining
Tulips are the perfect addition to an Easter tablescape, bringing fresh, cheerful elegance that embodies the season of renewal. Available in nearly every color, they let you personalize your table with soft pastels, vibrant brights, or classic whites. These beloved spring blooms are in season from early March through May, making them the ideal budget friendly choice for your Easter celebration.
Runners & Tablecloths
Neutral linens create a timeless and elegant foundation, allowing seasonal décor and fresh blooms to take center stage. Soft whites, beiges, and light grays provide a versatile backdrop that complements any color palette, from pastel florals to vibrant tableware. Plus, they add effortless sophistication, making your brunch feel warm, inviting, and perfectly balanced.
Bringing It All Together: Effortless Easter Entertaining
Easter entertaining should be as joyful as the season itself. By pairing the right wines with a beautifully set table, you can create a warm and welcoming experience for your guests.
