Discover Paso Robles Through Wine & Food Pairings with Trumpet Vine Catering
Imagine stepping into Paso Robles wine country, where the vines meet the culinary artistry of Trumpet Vine Catering. We've teamed up with some of your favorite local wineries, including Adelaida Cellars and Copia Vineyards, to craft unforgettable pairings that bring each wine’s character to life. Here’s how we built each dish to elevate and celebrate the wines that make Paso so unique.
Your Adelaida Cellars Pairings
Adelaida Cellars, with its rugged, scenic vineyards, produces wines that embody the richness and complexity of Paso Robles. Each pairing we’ve crafted reflects the essence of Adelaida’s wines, designed to guide you through an elevated tasting experience.
2019 Pinot Noir: For this earthy Pinot with hints of red fruit, you’ll enjoy a Mushroom Duxelles Tartlet with Gruyere and Caramelized Onion on a crisp phyllo shell. The creamy Gruyere and umami-packed cremini mushrooms enhance the wine’s rustic profile, while caramelized onion brings a touch of sweetness to the pairing.
2019 Mourvèdre: Savor the rich layers of Mourvèdre with a Savory Shortbread topped with Chevre, Drunken Bing Cherry, and a Prosciutto Crisp. The dark, fruity notes of the wine are mirrored in the cherry, while the chevre adds creaminess and the prosciutto provides a perfectly salty crunch.
2017 Syrah: This bold, spicy Syrah called for an equally daring dish, so we created a Duck Confit Wonton with Pickled Carrot, Green Onion, and a Soy Orange Sauce. The rich duck pairs well with the wine’s dark berry notes, while the soy-orange sauce adds a delightful hint of sweetness.
2017 Cabernet Sauvignon: With the deep tannins and cocoa notes of Adelaida’s Cabernet, you’ll indulge in a Coffee-Rubbed Petit Tenderloin with French Feta Whip and Parmesan Crostini. The bitterness of the coffee rub and the creaminess of the feta bring out the wine’s robust profile and add a savory balance.
2019 2320: For Adelaida’s unique blend, we crafted a Brioche Toast Point with Cambazola and Candied Bacon. The wine’s savory and fruity notes harmonize beautifully with the creamy blue cheese and sweet-salty bacon, creating a pairing that feels both indulgent and balanced.
Your Copia Vineyards Pairings
Copia Vineyards captures the essence of Paso’s terroir in each bottle. For these wines, we’ve crafted pairings that highlight their fresh, vibrant notes and bring out the personality of each blend.
2023 Rosé (Grenache & Mourvèdre): This refreshing Rosé pairs perfectly with Melon Gelee and a Prosciutto Crisp. The sweet melon balances the wine’s bright acidity, while the prosciutto adds just the right hint of salt, creating a summery bite that refreshes your palate.
2023 White (Roussanne, Viognier, Picpoul Blanc): For this tropical, aromatic blend, enjoy Hamachi Crudo in a Coconut Ginger Broth with a Mint Ribbon. The delicate flavors of the hamachi let the wine’s fruit-forward notes shine, while the coconut-ginger broth adds a hint of warmth and depth.
2021 The Story (Grenache, Mourvèdre): This complex, structured wine comes alive when paired with Duck Confit in a Sweet Potato Phyllo Cup topped with Pomegranate Gastrique. The wine’s berry notes match the duck’s richness, and the sweet-tart pomegranate adds a delightful contrast.
2021 The Cure (Mourvèdre, Grenache, Syrah): For this balanced blend of spice and earthiness, we’ve created Coppa Carpaccio with Dressed Arugula and Parmesan Snow. The peppery arugula and umami-rich parmesan add layers to the wine, creating a pairing that’s both elegant and grounded.
2021 The Source (Syrah, Viognier): This wine’s warm spice and floral tones inspired our Garam Masala Ratatouille Stuffed Shiitake Mushroom. Each bite introduces you to a burst of complex spices, harmonizing with the Syrah’s bold structure and adding an exotic twist.
With each bite and sip, these pairings transport you into the heart of Paso Robles, highlighting the passion behind each wine. At Trumpet Vine Catering, it’s our honor to work with these remarkable wineries, creating experiences that celebrate Paso’s terroir and winemaking artistry, one pairing at a time.
