Sweet & Savory Hand Pies for Chardonnay

As the sun comes out, we’ve been reaching for Chardonnay. A California classic, this wine is made for enjoying on a golden day. Of course, we think that all wines deserve a delicious pairing for ultimate enjoyment. This week, we took inspiration from our favorite cold-weather baked goods, but made them summer-ready. Hand pies are perfectly portable, shareable, and delicious. Trust us, if you’re sipping on Chardonnay this summer, then you need to try out these sweet and savory goodies!

Wild Mushroom and Goat Cheese Mini Pies - Sprinkle Bakes

We can’t get enough of this savory combination. With all the right earthiness and comfort, you’ll find a symphony of flavor that still clicks with the fresh, unctuous nature of our Chardonnay. Though store-bought dough is fine, we recommend a homemade all-butter crust. You just can’t beat it!

Apple Cheddar Hand Pies - Baking the Goods

If you’re looking for something “as American as apple pie” then this recipe is for you. Though it’s a twist on a classic, it joins the time honored tradition of making something even more delicious by adding cheese. The rich apple filling settles into the cheesy crust for a new favorite sweet-and-savory treat. 

Peach Hand Pies - Food and Wine

Of course, no roster of pies is complete without something truly sweet. It’s impossible to resist the siren song of summer stone fruit, so we are leaning in with these peach hand pies. Easy to prep ahead of time, these show-stoppers deserve a spot in your dessert rotation. 

With all the right flavors and endless customization options, you can make the most of all the fresh produce from the Farmer’s Market and truly make them your own. Whether you select one of these recipes or you take it as inspiration to make your own, all of these pair beautifully with our elegant and enjoyable Reserve Collection Chardonnay.
