Ceres is named after the Roman goddess of the harvest, of growing plants and motherly love. A common expression in ancient times was “fit for Ceres,” meaning splendid. Our finely crafted Ceres wines celebrate the sweet abundance of California’s fields and vineyards. These sweeter wines are perfect for today’s modern gods and goddesses, sweet on the palate, lingering in the memory.

Dessert or sweeter wines are often best matched to foods that are slightly less sweet. A perfectly ripe peach has often been described as the ideal partner for many dessert wines. Sometimes, the wine itself makes the perfect dessert. Chocolate is always welcome.

Grand Cadeau. Two simple French words – meaning great or large gift – translate to sparkling wines of sheer perfection, perfect balance and boisterous bubbles. You’ll find our Grand Cadeau sparklers – each with their own distinct style – the perfect partners for celebrating both life’s simple pleasures and special moments. Consider Grand Cadeau a special gift to yourself and to those you hold dear. Drink it often. Laugh. Dance. Love. That’s what the great gift of life is all about.

Our Grand Cadeau Sparkling Wines are crafted using the Méthode Champenoise, representing the highest standards of classic sparkling wine producers around the world.
