A Passover Tradition in Every Glass

Celebrate Freedom. Celebrate Family. Celebrate with Sunrise Cellars.

There’s something magical about Passover.

The table is set. The Haggadah is open. Children ask questions that have been asked for generations. Stories of freedom echo across centuries. And at the center of it all — four cups of wine.

Wine isn’t just part of the Seder. It is the Seder. It represents freedom, joy, redemption, and gratitude. Each cup is a reminder that we are not just remembering history — we are reliving it.

At Sunrise Cellars, we’ve curated a special Kosher for Passover wine collection to help you celebrate this sacred tradition beautifully. Whether you’re hosting a full Seder with extended family or keeping it intimate around your kitchen table, the right wine elevates the moment.

Let’s explore some of our favorites.

Sweet Beginnings: Moscato & Sparkling Rosé

Bartenura Moscato d’Asti (Italy)

If Passover had a flavor, it might taste like this. Lightly sparkling, delicately sweet, bursting with peach and apricot — Bartenura Moscato d’Asti is joyful in a glass. It pairs beautifully with charoset, fruit-based desserts, and flourless chocolate cake. Its gentle sweetness mirrors the symbolic sweetness of freedom itself.

It’s also perfect for those at your table who prefer a softer, lighter wine for their four cups.

Bartenura Sparkling Rosé Moscato

Want to add a little sparkle to your Seder? This vibrant pink bubbly brings celebration to the table. Fresh strawberry notes and floral aromas make it ideal for Kiddush or dessert. The bubbles lift the richness of traditional dishes and brighten every toast.

Serve it chilled. Watch faces light up.

The Heart of the Meal: Bold Israeli Reds

Passover meals are rich, comforting, and deeply traditional. Brisket slow-cooked for hours. Roast lamb infused with herbs. Family recipes passed down quietly over decades. These dishes deserve powerful wines.

Drimia Sahar Red Blend (Israel)

From the Judean Hills, this bold Israeli red brings dark berry, plum, and spice to the table. It’s structured, expressive, and made to stand beside brisket and lamb without overpowering them.

There’s something meaningful about pouring an Israeli wine at Passover — a celebration of freedom connected to the Land of Israel itself. It adds another layer of depth to the evening.

Other Red Favorites

We’re also featuring beautifully crafted kosher reds under $25 — including smooth Merlots and balanced Cabernet blends. These are excellent choices for guests who want richness without too much intensity.

Crisp & Refreshing Whites

Not everyone at the Seder wants red wine — and that’s perfectly fine.

Carmel Selected Sauvignon Blanc (Israel)

Bright. Zesty. Refreshing. This kosher-for-Passover Sauvignon Blanc offers citrus and herbal notes that cleanse the palate between bites of rich food. It’s excellent with matzo ball soup, chicken, herb dishes, and lighter courses.

For those who prefer dry wines, this is a beautiful and affordable choice.

Why Wine Matters So Much on Passover

The Haggadah instructs us to drink four cups of wine during the Seder. Each cup symbolizes one of the expressions of redemption — “I will bring you out… I will deliver you… I will redeem you… I will take you.”

We don’t just drink wine because it tastes good.

We drink it because free people recline. Free people celebrate. Free people raise a glass in gratitude.

That’s why choosing the right wine matters.

What Does “Kosher for Passover” Mean?

During Passover, wine must meet even stricter standards than year-round kosher wine. It must be produced without any chametz (leavened grain derivatives) and under rabbinical supervision in a Passover-certified facility.

At Sunrise Cellars, every wine in our Passover collection is clearly labeled and certified. If you’re unsure, our team will guide you.

How to Pair Your Passover Wines

To keep it simple:

  • Sweet wines(Moscato, sweet Riesling) → Charoset, desserts, fruit dishes
  • Dry whites & rosé → Fish, matzo ball soup, salads, herb dishes
  • Bold reds → Brisket, lamb, stuffed vegetables Match sweetness with sweetness.

Match weight with weight. Let the wine enhance — not overpower — the tradition.
