Delicious Dessert Wines
You might even want to skip dinner!

The Campbells family production of dessert wines dates back four generations to the 1870s. Made with late harvest fortified grapes and aged in a modified Solera, Campbells Muscat and Tokay are truly like no other wines in the world. Campbells Muscat is bright amber in color with rich, luscious notes of marmalade, toffee and caramel followed by a long finish. The Tokay is deep, brilliant gold with aromas of toffee and honey and flavors of prune, fig, chocolate and marmalade.

The cocktails, crafted by master mixologist Jamie Boudreau with Campbells Muscat and Tokay, are effortless to mix and serve and pure bliss to imbibe.
