Choose the Perfect Wine for Your Cayman Beach Wedding Ceremony
01 Mar 2017

Irrespective of the magical wedding you choose in enchanting Cayman or in any other corner of the globe, wine is the #1 component that you must include as sparkling wine being an integral part of the traditional toasts and celebrations. Many couples choose to offer at least two other kinds of wine on their wedding menus: one red and one white. Some also opt for rose wines.

When you are planning a Cayman beach wedding, choosing the perfect wine for your wedding and upcoming ceremonies is influenced by your personal taste and choice. So while you may think the season or menu always informs what’s in your glass, we are more than happy to inform you that whether you love reds, whites or roses, all three are always in style.

Oenophile faces no problem for selecting their favorite wines for dinner parties but when it comes to the beach weddings in the Cayman Islands, wine experts and novices alike might not know the heads and tails of serving wine for hundreds and more number of guests. From temperature and menu pairings to the much-debated question of how many bottles to buy, follow these expert tips to pulling out the perfect pour with every glass.

Consider the season and atmosphere:

Guests appreciate when you offer a red and white option. Along with those, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir are popular choices available. When placing your order, it's also very important to consider the season of your event. For example, if you're hosting during winter or early spring season, people tend to drink more red wine compared to a summer or outdoor occasion where people gravitate toward a crisp white to cool them down. So plan accordingly!

Personalize your Wine Choice:

You can arrange for a wine that has a story or a special meaning behind it – i.e., the wine served on your first date, the wine you enjoyed when he proposed, or a wine from your favorite winery.

A bit of bubbly:

If you are going for a wedding in Cayman, you would want to serve a wine that's special for you and the moment to cherish and remember. For the extraordinary and less expected option, surprise guests with a sparkling wine from Armagnac region of France!

Some of the famous pairings while you are organizing your wedding ceremony are listed as follow:

Chicken: - A red or a white that's on the medium to lighter side is a safe bet.

Fish: - Greek wines or other lighter, mineral whites go well with seafood.

Beef: - A strong Grenache or Pinot Noir (both reds) compliments beef.

Pork: - Go for a bolder white with pork, like white Burgundy.


Concluding Thoughts:

To conclude, wine is a quintessential component in the wedding. All thanks to sparkling wine toasts and the natural pairing of the wines with dinner. If you are planning to have wine at your wedding, it’s important to consider the season, time of day and type of wedding you are having. It is a good idea to have your wine list separate from other lists as people tend to guzzle more wine during the beach wedding ceremony and that too have the inclination to drink specifically sparkling wine during toasts.
