We’ve all been there. That moment when you’ve crossed all the names off your shopping list except for one—and you have no idea what to get them. If that person is a wine lover, it can potentially make things even more difficult. Do you get them a special bottle, wine tote, decanter or something completely different?
That’s where wine gift baskets can come in handy. These crowd pleasers not only feature bottles for your giftee to enjoy, but some also include cheese, charcuterie and more.
Whether you’re shopping for a specific person, looking to have an extra gift on-hand or just treating yourself (we won’t judge) check out some of our favorite wine and food gift baskets below.
The 10 Best Wine Gift Basket
1. Best for the Wine and Cheese Lover:
Harry & David’s Deluxe Cheese Crate with Wine
Perfect for anyone who enjoys having a glass of wine with a snack, this gift basket is sure to please even the pickiest giftee. Inside, you’ll find a bottle Pinot Noir with cheeses from Sartori, Rogue Creamery and more.
2. Best for the Wine and Chocolate Lover:
Perfect Pairing Wine and Chocolate Basket
Aside from cheese, name a more iconic wine pairing than chocolate. And despite the fact that this dessert is notoriously difficult to pair with what’s in your glass, Harry & David make it work in this gift basket.
Inside, you’ll find chocolates from Godiva, Ghirardelli and more along with Lucca & Sons Cellars’ Oregon Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. If candy isn’t your jam, the basket is also packed with chocolate shortbread cookies, graham crackers and more.
3. Best Unique Finds:
Wild Child Wines
If you have a person on your list who always seems to have the coolest bottles on hand surprise them with this gift. Inside, you’ll find eights selections that you’d be hard pressed to find on store shelves.
Look for the Coteaux Bourguignons Pinot Noir blend, a high altitude rosé and more. The bottles are just under seven ounces. So, they are perfect for enjoying one glass or enjoying a flight.
4. Best for the Rosé Fan:
Oh What Fun Cupcakes & Wine Gift Set
The sentiment “rosé all day” rings true for many people. And if someone on your list can’t get enough of the pink drink, they need this gift basket, which includes a bottle of California rosé.
As an added bonus, this wine gift basket is holiday themed. So inside they’ll find desserts from Wicked Good Cupcakes adorned with stockings and Christmas trees, cranberry scented candles, candy snowballs and more.
5. Best for the Champagne Lover:
Veuve Clicquot Champagne Gift Basket
Veuve Clicquot is one of the oldest Champagne houses in France and was helmed by Madame Clicquot, the first woman to do so. You can enjoy that history with this gift basket featuring a bottle of Champagne from the storied house. Inside you’ll also find chocolates, chocolate covered oranges and more.
6. Best for the Canned Wine Lover:
From Our Home To Yours! Wine & Cheese
Founded by Charles Smith in 2004, House Wine is known for making great-value wines packaged in cans, bottles and boxes. Enjoy the company’s Sauvignon Blanc and Red Blend along with Brooklyn Cured’s sweet soppressata, Mountain View Farms’ garlic cheese and more, all packaged in an adorable house.
7. Best for the California Wine Fan:
California Coast Snacks & Wine Gift Set
No matter where your giftee happens to be located, you can bring a bit of the West Coast to their door with this basket. In addition to a bottle of Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc made with California grapes, this package also comes with cheeses, cured meats and more from The Golden State.
8. Best Non-Alcoholic Wine Gift:
Pop the Bubbly
If you know someone with a celebratory spirit who doesn’t drink alcohol, this basket has their name all over it. It features Töast, an non-alcoholic sparkling wine, plus a kit for whipping up bubbly non-alcoholic cocktails, two glasses and—naturally—confetti.
9. Best for the Entertainer:
Holiday Entertaining Gift Set with Wine
The best part about wine is sharing it with loved ones. And this gift set provides everything the host with the most needs for a small gathering.
Inside, you’ll find a California Cabernet, and just about everything you could need for a successful charcuterie board (minus the board). Think three-pepper dry salami, smoked gouda, hot pepper bacon jam and more.
