Savor the Wild: Butter Wines and Campfire Eats That Own the Outdoors

Camping? Cute.
Camping with Butter wines and crave worthy food pairings? Next-level.

If you’re heading outdoors this summer with your crew, your furry friend, or just your best self, we’re here to make sure your camp menu is as fabulous as your wine stash. These food pairing ideas are fresh, fun, and made for pairing with our lineup of deliciously sippable wines: juicy Butter Cab, smooth Butter Pinot Noir, the classic Butter Chardonnay, NEW dreamy ButterLight, and refreshingly tropical Butter Sauvignon Blanc.

Let’s get into it…

 

Butter Sauvignon Blanc + Grilled Peach & Burrata Salad

 

Juicy grilled peaches, creamy burrata, fresh basil, a drizzle of honey, and a sprinkle of sea salt over arugula? Summer in a bowl.

This light, sweet-savory salad is made for golden hour and tastes even dreamier with a glass of Butter Sauvignon Blanc. It’s tropical, refreshing, crisp, and just the right amount of zing to cut through the richness of the burrata while elevating the grilled fruit like a total pro.

Pro Tip: Prep the peaches at home. At camp, just sear on the grill and build your salad like the effortless queen you are.

ButterLight + Campfire Lemon Herb Salmon Foil Packs

 

Minimal effort, maximum flavor. These foil packets are loaded with salmon fillets, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, garlic, and fresh lemon slices—seasoned, sealed, and roasted over hot coals.

ButterLight is your match here. This brand-new beauty brings all the creamy vibes of classic Butter Chardonnay, but with a lighter touch. It’s low-ABV, crisp, and clean—like your go-to white tee, but in a wine glass.

Why it works: That zesty pop of citrus in ButterLight cuts through the richness of the salmon like a boss, while the lemon brings it all together for a clean, crave-worthy bite every time.

 

Butter Chardonnay + Dutch Oven Creamy Corn & Sweet Potato Chowder

 

Who says chowder has to be heavy? This summer stunner is made with fire-roasted corn, sweet potato, garlic, a splash of cashew milk, and a hit of spice—simmered low and slow in your Dutch oven right over the coals.

Serve it up steaming in camp mugs, then pour a chilled glass of OG Butter Chardonnay to match. Rich, creamy, unapologetically bold—just like you.

Why it works: That rich, creamy Butter Chardonnay vibe melts right into the chowder’s silky goodness, while a pop of citrus keeps things fresh, fun, and never too heavy. It’s cozy in a cup with a side of ooh yes.

Pro Tip: For an extra layer of flavor, sprinkle toasted pepitas and a pinch of smoked paprika on top right before serving — it adds crunch and a smoky kick that’ll have everyone asking for seconds.

 

Butter Pinot Noir + Grilled Portobello and Avocado Tacos with Corn Salsa

 

Smoky grilled portobellos tucked into warm corn tortillas with a crunchy, limey corn salsa? Chef’s kiss. This dish is earthy, fresh, and surprisingly filling without weighing you down.

Pour up some Butter Pinot Noir—juicy, silky, and packed with ripe red fruit. This pairing walks the line between vibrant and cozy, just like those twilight hours around the fire.

Pro Tip: Add a crumble of feta or a swipe of chipotle crema if you’re feelin’ fancy.

Butter Cabernet + Charred Veggie Skewers with Halloumi

 

Colorful skewers stacked with bell peppers, red onion, zucchini, and cubes of salty halloumi cheese—grilled until blistered and caramelized.

Bring the heat with a glass of Butter Cab. Big, bold, and dripping with dark berry goodness, this red has the structure to handle the char and the richness to complement the cheese like a total power couple.

Why it works: Cab + halloumi = smoky, savory magic. Don’t sleep on this one.

 

So go ahead—romanticize the wild.

Think picnic table hangs, a warm breeze, and your crew posted up around the fire. Keep it easy with fresh flavors, no-fuss pours, and camp-friendly bites that taste even Butter under the stars. Food that hits, wine that goes down smooth, and vibes that are 100% our JaM.

Whether you’re all about sleeping in the car or more of a cozy-cabin queen, these Butter-ific pairings are here to make every bite and sip a total vibe.
