Make your summer cookout shine

You've counted down the days to summer and now the moment you’ve been waiting for has arrived: it’s cookout season. Here are our top tips for making all your outdoor gatherings shine.

The Menu

Burgers on the grill are a classic crowd pleaser. So we like serving something a little unexpected as a side. You can’t beat the brightness of this mango caprese salad. It makes a stylish addition to any table—and it tastes as good as it looks.

The Pour

With its balance of sweet and savory, the mango caprese salad pairs beautifully with our Chardonnay. Chill a bottle (or more!) and treat your friends and family to a delicious day in the sun or evening under the stars.

The Tunes

We love setting the mood with music, and building a great playlist ahead of time. That way, all you have to do is press play when your company arrives.

Instant Atmosphere

Lighting is another key factor. Once the sun goes down, lanterns and string lights make any yard or patio feel festive. Tiki torches are great for adding ambiance too.

Serving Suggestion

We love setting up a buffet so that people can help themselves. Creating stations for food and drinks makes guests feel welcome—and lets you relax, so you can spend more time enjoying the day with your favorite people.
