What's For Dinner: Venison Recipes with Wine
If your visit to the Endless Mountains includes hunting, you’re not alone. This region is a popular area to visit for those in search of deer, black bears, and turkey to name a few. With around 185,000 acres, you can enjoy an expanded hunting season, with your license of course. And after a long day outside, there’s nothing better than enjoying the fruits of your labor with a delicious meal (provided by you) and a glass of wine. While we love to drink our wine at Grovedale, we also think it can be the perfect ingredient to enhance the flavor of your meal. Here are a few venison recipes with wine to try.
Our Favorite Venison Recipes with Wine
Venison Bourguignon: This recipe comes to you from a hunter’s wife, so you know she know’s what she’s talking about. Swap traditional beef for venison for a meal that is filling and delicious! We recommend preparing this with our Merlot.
Red Wine Venison Roast: If using the slow cooker is more your style, we’ve got you covered. This venison recipe with wine can be made in a crock pot, slower cooker, or with a multi-cooker depending on your preference. Remember the key to fall apart venison is cooking low and slow, giving you plenty of time to enjoy a glass or two of wine. Try this one with a bottle of Red Barn. And maybe order an extra bottle for drinking while your meal simmers.
Hearty Venison Stew: Nothing tastes better after a day spent in the chilly outdoors than a hearty stew to warm your bones. This venison recipe with wine will fill your belly and is simple to make. Just 20 minutes of prep is all you need. And if you don’t have time to wait for slow cooking, this one also works in the Instant Pot! This recipe will need one cup of our Sh!tshow wine, and the rest is for you to enjoy!
Wine and Cooking
While there’s no doubt that we love to drink our wine, it can also help to add flavor and depth to your recipes. The acidity in wine can help to keep venison tender and moist, making it the perfect addition to your recipe.
Stop by Grovedale Winery after your hunting adventures to pick up a few bottles of your favorite reds to celebrate the hunt and make your dinner even better!
