Here's How to Set Up a Prosecco Bar Like a Pro

Many people categorize any sparkling wine as champagne, but we're here to set the record straight. Prosecco is a product of Italy while champagne is a product of France. The two are produced using different methods of fermentation, which ends up making Prosecco a bit lighter, sweeter, and more versatile.

Prosecco pairs particularly well with fresh fruits like strawberries, blueberries, and crisp apples because the wine itself has fruity notes. Fresh herbs also add a layer of flavor to bubbly Prosecco. Put herbs and washed, sliced fruit into small serving bowls and leave them out on the bar. This will allow your guests to play with the flavors themselves and create their own combinations. You can provide a little inspiration by layering some ingredients in a flute or two just to get them started.

Rich and savory flavors can also elevate a glass of Prosecco, so setting out certain specific snacks for guests can change the taste of each sip. Since Prosecco is such a crisp and refreshing drink, it can stand up to deep nutty flavors like almonds or cashews, creamy cheeses like brie and goat, and dried fruits. Arrange a cheese plate with all of these options and take your guests' palates on an adventure.

Keep the drinks coming throughout the party by placing your Prosecco bottles over ice. Keep an eye on your bar and make sure to restock fruit and herbs as needed. We suggest keeping them stocked, pre-chopped, and ready to go in your kitchen.
