From Thursday, October 31st through Sunday, November 3rd, 2024, Pago will host its 15th Annual Pumpkin & Orange Wine Tasting

Said Pago Founder/Owner/Sommelier Scott Evans, “For the fifteenth year in a row, we are offering orange wine pairings for all the gourd goodness Chef Jon has created. Orange wines refer to white wine grape varietals that have been fermented on their grape skins which gives the orange wine its orange color. I assure you no oranges were harmed (or added) in this winemaking style. What you get is a bit more texture/body and depth than its white wine counterpart. Personally, I love orange wines year-round, but fall reminds me of their importance. Salud!”
