Drink pairing tips
Pair falafel with Rosé
To elevate your falafel experience, we recommend some Rosé to go with your dish. This pairing works especially well because this pink wine counterbalances the dense texture of the falafel.
Pair Chardonnay with falafel
Experts suggest pairing falafel with a glass of oaked Chardonnay, a white wine that enhances flavour.
Take lamb stew to the next level
Experts often pair lamb stew with a glass of Riesling, a popular white wine.
