May 25th – National Wine Day
May is a busy month for wine lovers, but if you’re only going to celebrate one national wine holiday this month, don’t miss this one. #NationalWineDay
May 26th – International Chardonnay Day
Whether you like it extra oaky and buttery or crisp and clean, you’ll want to note that Chardonnay Day is designated the Thursday before Memorial Day in the U.S. #Chardday
June 10th – National Rosé Day
Rosé Day is interesting because no one can agree on exactly which day it should be, but most celebrate it on the second Saturday of June each year. We think a summer holiday to recognize the pink stuff only makes sense, as there’s nothing better than a chilled glass of rosé on a hot day! #NationalRoseDay
June 18th – Drink Chenin Blanc Day
Chenin blanc is a white wine grape from the Loire Valley of France. With naturally high acid and the ability to adapt to different styles and sweetness, it tends to be a favorite among serious wine enthusiasts looking for versatility. #DrinkCheninDay
June 21st – World Lambrusco Day
This wine from Italy is really quite delicious. It can be either sweet, dry, or off-dry and it is always effervescent or slightly sparkling. Lambrusco fans have campaigned for it to have its own day worldwide, so if you haven’t already, try it — it is a refreshing option on a warm summer day and pairs well with many foods. #WorldLambruscoDay
August 13th – International Prosecco Day
Prosecco is an Italian sparkling wine made from the glera grape. This spumante bubbly is characteristically pretty afforable with a subtle hint of sweetness. #ProseccoDay
August 18th – Pinot Noir Day
Pinot Noir Day is always at the end of August. Kicking off pinot noir’s celebratory day is the International Pinot Noir Celebration, which takes place at the end of July in McMinnville, Oregon. It is said to be the best wine event of its kind anywhere, so proclaimed by the author of The World Atlas of Wine, Jancis Robinson, but even if you can’t make it, be sure to pop the cork on a favorite bottling. #PinotNoirDay
August 31st – International Cabernet Day
Cabernet Day is the Thursday before Labor Day in the U.S., a preemptive start to what we would normally consider red wine season: fall and winter. #CabernetDay
