Holiday Desserts & Michigan Wine Pairing with Verterra Winery

Some holiday recipes are more than dessert—they’re part of the family.

Join Paul and Geoff Hamelin of Verterra Winery for a special afternoon celebrating the family recipes and traditions that have been part of their holidays over the years.

Alex of Wooden Whisk Creations will recreate three Hamelin family favorites, each thoughtfully paired with a Verterra wine:

Sparkling Pinot Blanc
Fluffy peanut butter bar with chocolate crust and salted Spanish peanut crunch

2024 Late Harvest Riesling
Spiced apple cake with warm brown sugar sauce

2025 Joy
Toasted white chocolate + sea-salted caramel apple bark with crunchy pretzels, toasted hazelnuts and orange zest

As you sip and taste, Paul and Geoff will share the stories behind these family favorites and the wines chosen to accompany them.

And because the best traditions are meant to be shared, you’ll take home all three family recipes to add to your own holiday collection.
