International Sauvignon Blanc Day

International Sauvignon Blanc Day celebrates Sauvignon Blanc, a white wine varietal known for its vibrant acidity, refreshing citrus and tropical-fruit flavors, and herbaceous notes. The wine can show different characteristics depending on where it is produced: New Zealand expressions may be clean and crisp with green-grass and lemon flavors, while warmer regions can produce rounder, tropical-fruit notes.

St. Supéry Estate Vineyards & Winery started the day in 2010 as a global, social celebration of Sauvignon Blanc. The observance takes place on the first Friday in May, bringing wine enthusiasts together to explore different bottles, regions, and styles. Wineries, restaurants, and retailers may host tastings and other events, while participants can join online by sharing their Sauvignon Blanc experiences with #SauvBlanc, as described on the holiday’s official About page.

How to Observe International Sauvignon Blanc Day

Celebrate by pouring a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and comparing bottles from different regions. Pair it with seafood, vegetables, a light pasta dish, chicken, salad, herbs, cheeses, or another favorite food. You can also visit a winery, restaurant, or retailer offering a Sauvignon Blanc tasting, or share your favorite bottle online with #SauvBlanc. If you drink, do so responsibly and only if you are of legal drinking age.
