The 15 Best Wine Gift Baskets for Any Gifting Occasion

Harry & David Vintner’s Choice Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Pair Collection

$150 at Harry & David

For thoughtfully curated gift sets, no one does it quite like Harry & David. This flavor-packed box has been compiled with the express purpose of complementing the star of the show, a bottle of Louis Martini Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. With jammy notes of cherry cobbler and wild blackberries, the full-bodied red pairs beautifully with a variety of happy hour-ready bites, like Olli Salumeria sopressata, tangy black olive spread, rich Sartori BellaVitano Gold cheese, and sweet fig spread.

Your recipient will love the box’s versatile selection, which teams just as beautifully with cocktail hour as it does with a cozy evening by the fire pit.

Clif Family Winery Eat Chocolate, Drink Wine Gift Box

View on Cliffamily.com

Chocolate and wine is a classic pairing, with notes of each element amplifying the enjoyment of their counterpart. This gift box from Napa Valley-based Clif Family Winery plays off the timelessness of the enduring duo by pairing the brand’s zesty Zinfandel (packed with flavors of ripe berries, sage, black pepper, and — of course — chocolate) with a trio of dark chocolate delights, ranging from decadent chocolate-covered almonds to chewy toffee and indulgent caramel.

Best of all, each gift set is packaged securely into a box and tied with a chic ribbon, so you can even have it delivered directly to your recipient without worrying about how it’ll look once it shows up.

Avaline The Holiday Collection

View on Drinkavaline.com

Have a friend who has always wanted to sit down for a bottle with Cameron Diaz? Well, now they can — sort of — with this collection of bottles from Avaline. Each of the wines from the A-lister's brand is made from organic grapes and is void of any unnecessary concentrates, colors, or added sugars. The result? An easy-to-sip line of classics that will please even the pickiest connoisseur.

This generous gift set is stocked with six bottles of their best, ranging from a crisp pinot grigio and juicy Italian Bianco to a bold Sangiovese and effervescent Lambrusco. While it doesn’t come with any snacks alongside the sips, we think six bottles is a more than generous treat for anyone on your holiday shopping list.

Inside, your recipient will find everything from French truffles and English toffee caramels to honeycomb chocolate for a culinary experience that’s almost as good as a trip to Europe.

Ami Ami Mulled Wine Duo

View on Ami-ami.vin

Mulled wine is a seasonal classic, but the actual execution of said beverage can be rather intimidating. This newly launched gift set from bespoke boxed wine brand Ami Ami makes it incredibly easy, delivering everything you need to make the soul-warming sip. Inside the modern branded boxes (which feel special enough to gift sans ribbon or fluff!), you’ll find organic spices from editor-loved spice brand Burlap & Barrel, along with dehydrated oranges and a recipe card. 

Of course, there’s wine too — Ami Ami’s French-produced boxed Vin Rouge, to be exact — which we find to be velvety, fruit-forward, and versatile.

The Prisoner Wine Company Holiday Red Blend Collection

View on Theprisonerwinecompany.com

When shopping for a fellow oenophile, it’s always helpful to know what kind of wine they prefer to sip. If your giftee is a fan of rich, bold reds, they’ll love this dynamic box of blends from Prisoner. The California-based wine company specializes in balanced blends of unusual grape varieties that appeal to fans of all types, whether their preferences lean fruity and and fragrant or smoky and subtle.

This particular collection teams a trio of their most popular blends: The Prisoner Red Blend, a bright and smooth combination that tastes of vanilla, coconut, and raspberry; SALDO Red Blend, a medium-bodied bold pick with notes of black cherries and baking spices; and Unshackled Red Blend, a fruit-forward selection that pairs fresh aromas of blueberry and crushed violets with hints of white pepper and spices.

Silver Oak & Cakebread Red Wine Gift Basket

$530 at Gourmet Gift Baskets

If you’re gifting a couple or looking to send a thoughtful box that can be shared, this bountiful collection from Gourmet Gift Baskets should be on your shortlist. It’s packed to the brim with enough snacks to satisfy a crowd, including multiple types of cheeses, meats, crackers, and dessert items for a ready-to-go charcuterie board.

And while all that is delicious, top honors go to the two bottles of vino tucked inside, one from Cakebread Cellars and one from Silver Oak. While each of the reds is made from cabernet sauvignon grapes, they boast distinctly different tasting notes. Silver Oak’s version is a graceful, medium-bodied expression of bright fruit and savory spices, while Cakebread Cellars offers up a rich and complex bouquet of ripe berries, dark chocolate, and toasty oak.

Hickory Farms Winter Unwind Self-Care Gift Set

$65 at hickoryfarms.com

Whatever the reason your giftee is abstaining from alcohol, they can still get in on the wine gift basket fun with this curated collection centered around Töst. The party-ready sparkling beverage (which was named to our list of the best nonalcoholic drinks) still lets sippers partake in that “pop the bottle” moment, substituting wine or Champagne with a bubbly blend of botanicals, including white tea, ginger, and elderberry.

The rest of this gift set is equally memorable, with many of the picks geared towards an indulgent night in. There’s a fizzy bath bomb, a scented candle, an indulgent hand cream, a brightening face mask, and a mint chocolate bar — everything they’ll need for a luxurious solo celebration.

For the friend who is always on the hunt for the latest and greatest up-and-coming product, we present Juliet’s Merry Red Bundle. Juliet centers its ethos on sustainability, packaging its California-grown wine in an eco-magnum made entirely of recyclable and renewable materials.

This seasonal bundle combines two punchy reds — an Edna Valley-grown pinot noir and an aromatic cabernet sauvignon — for the perfect party favor. Juliet’s wines stay fresh for up to six weeks, so this duo will carry your recipient through the holiday season — if it lasts that long.

Wine may be the focus of this article, but it's the cheese that takes center stage with this gift box.

Fear not though, wine lovers — each of the varietals of cheese in this box is selected because they pair beautifully with a bottle of wine, whether your recipient prefers white or red.

They’ll get to sample two of Murray’s signature cheeses — a manchego and a gruyére — as well as eat their way through a mini wheel of Langres (meant to be paired with Champagne) and several satisfying snacks.
