As those first leaves start falling, they remind us that we’ve entered our favorite food season: fall!

Sure, spring and summer are great, don’t get us wrong. There’s just something about fall that makes us want to cook up hearty, piping-hot bowls of deliciousness. Welcome to chili season!

Secret ingredients and flavors will differ, but that’s the beauty of it! For every flavor preference, there’s a chili – and a wine – to pair with it.

Below are some of the chili recipes we can’t wait to simmer on our stoves this season. We’ve also paired a few fantastic wines with these recipes to make chili night an event worth savoring!
