Domaine Carneros, a sparkling wine producer in Napa, California, announced its 2026 Holiday Gift Collection on Oct. 14. The lineup pairs the winery's estate wines with food, home and entertaining items for the holiday season. The collection is available now through the winery's website and for pickup at its château, located in the Carneros AVA between Napa and Sonoma counties.
For readers planning holiday shopping or hosting this season, the release matters because it lays out specific products, prices and shipping deadlines needed to get wine gifts delivered in time for Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year's Eve. A staff reporter for this site has followed Domaine Carneros' seasonal offerings for regular readers and is passing along the details while the shipping windows still apply.
The collection splits into two groups: wine and food pairings, and gift sets built around entertaining or home comfort.
Among the food pairings, Holiday Cheer combines a dozen Himalayan Salted Caramel Dark Chocolates from Anette's Chocolates in Napa Valley with a bottle of the 2022 Estate Brut Cuvée, priced at $73, or $58.40 for club members. Pinot Perfection pairs the same chocolates with the 2023 Estate Pinot Noir for $81, or $64.80 for members.
Dinner for Two includes a Beef Bourguignon and Ratatouille made by Chef Fleur Anderson of BOCOBITES, paired with the 2023 Estate Pinot Noir, for $115, or $92 for members. Cocoa O'Clock offers three hot cocoas from French Broad Chocolate in Asheville, North Carolina, handmade marshmallows from Anette's, and the 2023 Avant-Garde Pinot Noir, priced at $110, or $88 for members.
Fondue Rendezvous combines truffled Swiss cheese fondue from The Truffleist in Queens with dark chocolate fondue made in the Italian Alps, a ceramic fondue pot and two forks, paired with the 2020 Ultra Brut. It costs $120, or $96 for members, and arrives hand wrapped. The Carneros Pantry gathers saucisson sec from Journeyman Meat Co. in Sonoma, Honey & Garlic Mustard from The Rustic Orchard in Napa Valley, the winery's Brut Rosé Caramel Popcorn, and Anette's chocolates with the 2022 Estate Brut Cuvée, priced at $115, or $92 for members.
On the entertaining side, a new item this year, The Perfect Fit, is a 79-piece birchwood jigsaw puzzle of the Domaine Carneros château, paired with the Blanc de Noir, for $105, or $84 for members. Spiced Pear Sparkler provides ingredients for the winery's signature cocktail, including the 2022 Estate Brut Cuvée, pear nectar, dried pear slices and two hand-painted stemless glasses, also priced at $105, or $84 for members.

The winery also offers classic gift boxes for 12 of its wine combinations, in royal blue, rose gold and silver, priced from $61 to $258, or $48.80 to $206.40 for club members.
For businesses, Domaine Carneros offers corporate gifting options, including logo-branded chocolate boxes and sabers, with a concierge team available to build custom collections for lists of 5 to 500 recipients. Customers can start a corporate order by phone or text at 707-266-5128.

For Christmas, the deadlines are Dec. 16 outside California and Dec. 21 within the state. For New Year's Eve delivery, the cutoffs are Dec. 20 outside California and Dec. 28 within California.

Domaine Carneros notes it will mark its 40th anniversary in 2027. The winery's six estate vineyards cover about 400 acres planted to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, entirely within the Carneros AVA. The company's statement does not specify additional product releases beyond the current holiday collection.
