Easter Wine Guide: The Best Wines for Lamb, Roast Dinner, and Chocolate 

Apr 1, 2026

Easter is one of the best times of year for food, family gatherings, and sharing a bottle (or two). 

Whether you’re hosting Easter Sunday lunch or bringing a bottle to someone else’s table, choosing the right wine can make the meal feel extra special. 

Here are the best Easter wine ideas from Lightfoot Wines in Wentworth. 

What Wine Goes with Roast Lamb? 

Lamb is rich and savoury, which makes it perfect for red wine. 

Best reds for lamb include: 

  • Rioja Reserva 
  • Syrah / Shiraz 
  • Malbec 
  • GSM blends 
  • Cabernet Sauvignon 

Best Wines for a Roast Dinner 

If you’re serving a mix of roast meats and trimmings, choose something versatile. 

Best choices: 

  • Pinot Noir 
  • Côtes du Rhône 
  • Merlot blends 
  • Chardonnay (for white drinkers) 

What Wine Goes with Easter Chocolate?

Wine and chocolate can be amazing – but only if the wine is sweeter than the chocolate. 

Best styles include: 

  • Port 
  • Pedro Ximénez (PX) Sherry 
  • Sweet red wines 
  • Dessert wines 

PX Sherry is especially incredible with rich chocolate desserts.
