Summer Pairings: What to Eat with a Rosé from Provence?

• 1 July 2025

Discover our rosé wine and food pairing ideas to complement your summer meals with elegance and freshness.

Summer is the perfect season to enjoy a well-chilled rosé from Provence, in all its simplicity. At the table, it pairs beautifully with light, generous, and sun-kissed seasonal cuisine.

At Maison Gutowski, we love pairing our cuvées with summery dishes: grilled fish, roasted vegetables, ceviche, fresh cheeses, or fruity desserts. Thanks to their balance of freshness, finesse, and complexity, our rosé wines from Provence offer beautiful food and wine pairings — from relaxed terrace lunches to elegant summer dinners.

In this article, discover our summer dish ideas to pair with our rosés: simple, flavourful, and designed to highlight every M–G cuvée.
