Our Favorite Ways to Sip, Savor, and Celebrate an Engagement

Ready to say “yes” to the best engagement gifts for the happy couple in your life? Whether you’re shopping for something fun, meaningful, or totally unforgettable, we’ve got an idea or two to run by you. After all, there’s no better way to celebrate the day they decided to say “I do” than with the perfect gift for an engagement party.

Something Old: Wine

If you’re looking to give something timeless, we’ve got a great suggestion: a wine engagement gift. If you know their favorite varietal, all the better, but if not, we have single-serve sampler sets that are as sippable as they are stylish. Our gift set blends convenience and quality, allowing the happy couple to sample fine wines without committing to an entire bottle.

Whether it’s a rich, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon or a crisp, refreshing Chardonnay, we’ve got a thing or two on our wine menu. Did we mention that our wines come in eco-friendly packaging? So, not only are we a thoughtful gift for an engagement party, but now your gift is conscious of the planet too.

Give them the best wine for an engagement gift by treating them to a wine-tasting experience at home—because there’s no better way to make a moment unforgettable than with a glass (or two) of something special.

Something New: Mixed Varietals!

What’s the best way to tailor your pours to different palates and preferences? Variety, of course! Our mixed varietals set is perfect for celebrating any occasion—but weddings and engagements truly take the cake. After all, there’s something extra special about popping open your favorite bottle of wine to toast a milestone moment. Or, maybe the happy couple will find a new favorite to enjoy, one that can become their special varietal for years to come. Either way, these delicious wines make perfect engagement party gifts, tailored for two.

Something Borrowed: Tradition in the Kitchen

Wine and dine your giftees with a wine-themed cookbook or wine-pairing recipe cards. Both fit the "borrowed" gift criteria for couples who either love cooking together or are wine connoisseurs; not only will this gift spark a little creativity in the kitchen, but it also makes for an ongoing tradition they can keep “borrowing” from again and again.

We love how this gift for an engagement party allows the happy couple to discover new flavors and experiment with unique wine pairings—making the moments they share even more memorable. And who knows, maybe a recipe card with their favorite pairing will become part of their own gifting tradition, passed down for years to come.

Something Blue: Treats and Trinkets

Did you know that blue symbolizes calm, trust, and loyalty? It’s the perfect sentiment for an engaged couple embarking on the biggest adventure of their lives. For this part of the gift, we like to add a little more personality through a pop of color. Whether you prefer adding simple touches to the packaging or plan on going all out, here are a few blue wine must-haves that will complement the couple’s wine menu effortlessly (and look chic on the shelf!).

  • Blue Wine Glasses: A set of blue wine glasses or tumblers adds a bit of whimsy to any wine lover’s curio cabinet. Whether it’s a soft blue hue or bold cobalt, these glasses will bring elegance and personality to their home.

  • Blue Wine Cooler or Bottle Stopper: For a more subtle touch of blue, consider a blue wine cooler or wine bottle stopper. Both practical and stylish, these accessories will keep their wine chilled or sealed, and the blue accent adds a fun, modern vibe to their wine time.

  • Blue Macarons: Elegant and delicious, blue macarons are a unique and charming treat for any engagement celebration. These blue confections will add a colorful touch to the couple’s party spread or serve as a sweet gesture alongside a bottle of wine.

  • Blueberry Truffles: A decadent treat for the couple with a sweet tooth, blueberry truffles offer a blend of rich chocolate and fruity flavor. Wrapped in blue foil, these treats will make a stunning addition to any engagement gift, bringing both class and indulgence to the celebration.

  • Blue Velvet Cupcakes: For a playful yet sophisticated twist, blue velvet cupcakes are essentially red velvet cupcakes—just blue! With a rich, moist texture and delicate cream cheese frosting, these cupcakes add a vibrant pop of blue to the dessert table. They’re a fun and memorable way to sweeten the deal, especially when paired with a crisp glass of wine.

Cheers to Happily Ever After (and Then Some!)
