The best wine gift baskets on our list don’t just come stocked with some of the best bottlings in the industry — they’re also filled with decadent chocolate gifts, cheese, charcuterie, wine accessories, and even virtual tasting experiences. Check out our list of the best wine gift baskets worth toasting to below — and get ready to make holiday gifting much smoother.

Whether you’re hoping to celebrate your friend’s engagement or looking for a way to wish your boss a happy holiday, this wine gift basket from Wine.com is sure to put them into a celebratory mood. Included is a 90-point bottle of Bisol Jeio Brut Prosecco alongside traditional snacks (think dry salami, pepperjack cheese, and sea salt flatbread crackers) for a collection that will make every hour happy.

This gift set is packaged beautifully with a charcuterie board, which your giftee can reuse with their favorite cheese knives.

Mulled wine is a seasonal classic, but the actual execution of said beverage can be rather intimidating. This gift set from bespoke boxed wine brand Ami Ami makes it incredibly easy, delivering everything you need to make the soul-warming sip. Inside the modern branded boxes (which feel special enough to gift sans ribbon or fluff!), you’ll find organic spices from editor-loved spice brand Burlap & Barrel, along with dehydrated oranges and a recipe card.

Of course, there’s wine too — Ami Ami’s French-produced boxed Vin Rouge, to be exact — which we've tasted and loved. It's velvety, fruit-forward, and versatile.

Smith & Hook’s highly-lauded cabernet sauvignon is known for its classic Central Coast flavor notes, with hints of cherry, plum, blackberry, and cassis and a toasty, spicy finish that lingers on the palate. A wine this robust should be paired with equally indulgent treats — and this wine gift basket certainly delivers.

Inside, you’ll find Bourbon and Sour Cherries Salami by Brooklyn Cured, Stonewall Kitchen's organic fig jam, Mountain View Farms cheeses, and more for a collection that will feel right at home among a holiday spread.

Have a friend who has always wanted to sit down for a bottle with Cameron Diaz? Well, now they can — sort of — with this collection of bottles from Avaline. Each of the wines from the A-lister's brand is made from organic grapes and is void of any unnecessary concentrates, colors, or added sugars. The result? An easy-to-sip line of classics that will please even the pickiest connoisseur.

This generous gift set includes nine bottles of their best, ranging from a crisp pinot grigio and juicy Italian Bianco to a bold Sangiovese and effervescent Lambrusco. While it doesn’t include snacks alongside the sips, we think six bottles is a more than generous treat for anyone on your holiday shopping list.

Chocolate and wine is a classic pairing, with notes of each element amplifying the enjoyment of their counterpart. This gift box from Napa Valley-based Clif Family Winery plays off the timelessness of the enduring duo by pairing the brand’s zesty Zinfandel (packed with flavors of ripe berries, sage, black pepper, and — of course — chocolate) with a trio of dark chocolate delights, ranging from decadent chocolate-covered almonds to chewy toffee and indulgent caramel.

Best of all, each gift set is packaged securely into a box and tied with a chic ribbon, so you can even have it delivered directly to your recipient without worrying about how it’ll look once it shows up.

For thoughtfully curated gift sets, no one does it quite like Harry & David. This flavor-packed box has been compiled with the express purpose of complementing the star of the show, a bottle of Louis Martini Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. With jammy notes of cherry cobbler and wild blackberries, the full-bodied red pairs beautifully with a variety of happy hour-ready bites, like Olli Salumeria sopressata, tangy black olive spread, rich Sartori BellaVitano Gold cheese, and sweet fig spread.

Your recipient will love the box’s versatile selection, which teams just as beautifully with cocktail hour as it does with a cozy evening by the fire pit.

When shopping for a fellow oenophile, it’s always helpful to know what kind of wine they prefer to sip. If your giftee is a fan of rich, bold reds, they’ll love this dynamic box of blends from Prisoner. The California-based wine company specializes in balanced blends of unusual grape varieties that appeal to fans of all types, whether their preferences lean fruity and and fragrant or smoky and subtle.

This particular collection teams a trio of their most popular blends: The Prisoner Red Blend, a bright and smooth combination that tastes of vanilla, coconut, and raspberry; SALDO Red Blend, a medium-bodied bold pick with notes of black cherries and baking spices; and Unshackled Red Blend, a fruit-forward selection that pairs fresh aromas of blueberry and crushed violets with hints of white pepper and spices.

If you want to leave a lasting impression this holiday season, look no further than this thematic gift box from Hickory Farms. You’ll be like a real-life Santa Claus, delivering holiday cheer in the form of wine, cheese, and chocolate treats (aka the best kind of holiday cheer). This curated collection teams a festive bottle of Bell & Bough Cabernet Sauvignon with classic finger foods like salami, cheese, jams, crisps, jams, chocolates, and more.

This gift set is relatively budget-friendly and serves a crowd, making it a great option to gift if you don’t want to show up to the neighborhood block party empty-handed.

If you’re gifting a couple or looking to send a thoughtful box that can be shared, this bountiful collection from Gourmet Gift Baskets should be on your shortlist. It’s packed to the brim with enough snacks to satisfy a crowd, including multiple types of cheeses, meats, crackers, and dessert items for a ready-to-go charcuterie board.

And while all that is delicious, top honors go to the two bottles of vino tucked inside, one from Cakebread Cellars and one from Silver Oak. While each of the reds is made from cabernet sauvignon grapes, they have distinctly different tasting notes. Silver Oak’s version is a graceful, medium-bodied expression of bright fruit and savory spices, while Cakebread Cellars offers up a rich and complex bouquet of ripe berries, dark chocolate, and toasty oak.

This bountiful box from Harry & David takes the guesswork out of creating an engaging and balanced cheese and wine pairing, making it the perfect option for your favorite host or home chef this holiday season. Tucked into delicate tissue paper, your recipient will find six Royal Riviera pears and four apples, as well as a selection of three cheeses (sharp cheddar, gouda, and Touvelle). Finishing off the set is a bottle of J Vineyards Pinot Gris, a crisp white wine that has notes of stone fruit and citrus, with a refreshing touch of minerality.

Don't forget to consider the time and cost of shipping. If you're a last-minute gift buyer and giver, you'll have to pay for expedited shipping on these gift baskets and sets unless you start shopping early. Many of these items have a purchase cut-off date for arriving in time for the holidays, so be sure to check that out when making a purchase. For state-by-state shipping availability, you'll want to check each gift basket's shipping restrictions before you check out.

Take note of the varietals included in each set, as they vary greatly. If you only drink red versus white or vice versa, you'll want to opt for the baskets and sets that include varietals you know you'll love. We've featured several selections that offer red, white, Rosé, and sparkling only, so there are choices for all types of wine lovers.

From artisan foods to wine glasses, wine gift baskets feature many accessories. Consider your giftee and their needs to determine which accessories make the most sense. Do they need glassware or a new corkscrew? Will they be traveling away from home when they receive this gift, and if so, would those accessories be welcomed? Most of the baskets equipped with culinary treats include a wide selection, so you can't go wrong, as there's bound to be something enjoyable for every gift recipient.

This list includes both gift basket and gift set styles, with the main difference being that baskets include an array of culinary goodies or accessories and the sets feature strictly wines. For gift recipients who don't want the extra goodies, a gift set of wines is the right choice. But for those you know who want to make it a wine and food pairing experience, opt for one of the extravagant baskets we've included here.
