Strawberry Rhubarb Wine Day

National Strawberry Rhubarb Wine Day

Strawberry Rhubarb Wine Day is celebrated on the 3rd Saturday in July. Strawberry rhubarb wine is typically homemade or produced by small wineries. Its origins may vary, but it's often associated with regions where strawberries and rhubarb are abundant, such as parts of Europe and North America.

Origins and Flavor Harmony

• Strawberry rhubarb wine celebrates the natural pairing of two delicious fruits: strawberries and rhubarb.
• Strawberries originated in Asia and made their way to Europe in the 1300s. By the 15th century, they were flourishing in Italian gardens.
• Rhubarb, known as “the pie plant,” has a long history. It was used medicinally in China as early as 2700 B.C.
• When combined, the sweet strawberries balance the tartness of rhubarb, resulting in a glass of great wine.
