This 5-ingredient Pear Sangria is easy to make and perfectly refreshing for fall!
This may come as a surprise to you…..but I love me some wine! Ha – no real surprise, I guess….this is only the 9th sangria recipe I’ve shared with you….. What can I say? When you’re passionate about something, you might as well share it, right??
There’s just something about sitting down with a glass of wine that is so relaxing. I love sharing it with friends or enjoying a glass after the kids go to bed….and along with it, I love taking a moment to relax, unwind, and just be. Of course, it never hurts if my “me time” can also be delicious…..!
My favorite way to drink wine is straight up (haha) but I also really enjoy mixing up a delicious sangria! I love that the possibilities are endless, and that you can change things up completely just by adding different flavors. Perfect for the changing seasons! Last fall I shared my Sparkling Apple Cider Sangria with you and this year I thought I’d mix it up with pears! (And I’m so happy I did!!)
Have you ever read the label on a bottle of Riesling…..and noticed the “notes of pear” that are constantly being mentioned? Well, this sangria starts with Riesling, highlights those pear notes, adds a little extra kick, and ends on a note of delicious!! Just the way sangria should!
So whether you’re looking for a new drink to share with friends or one to keep all to yourself….this Pear Sangria is a must try for fall! I hope you enjoy!!

Can’t wait to try this! Looks so refreshing. I love me some sangria. There’s a wine bar near me that has an excellent fall sangria that I wait for every year to come around. I asked for the recipe, and they gave it to me! It’s red-wine based and I love serving it during Thanksgiving. Now I’m also going to offer this white wine sangria! Thank you!
What I’m talking about! What a wonderful fall beverage, I’d love a glass of this just sitting back and watching the leaves!
Cathy, I LOVE sangria and how delicious does this version sound? How have I ignored the delicious pear all these years? 😉 So totally making this any my girlfriends are going to flip for it, I know! Pinning – have a wonderful weekend!
I like wine, I like sangria and I love your cute glasses! Keep the recipes coming!
I am so making this – pinned! I can taste it just from your photos!
It’s really a nice and helpful piece of information. I am happy that you simply
shared this helpful info with us. Please

This looks delish and I’m planning on making it for Thanksgiving, but do the seeds give it flavor or are they just used to garnish the drink? I’m wondering if I can use cranberries instead of pomegranate seeds or if it will be a noticeable difference in taste. Thanks!
Hi Lisa, sorry I missed this before Thanksgiving! The seeds are just for garnish 🙂
