Fall Harvest Sangria is a warm, autumn blend of apple, pear, ginger, and cinnamon spice, steeped with your favorite white wine!
Happy first day of autumn!
Fall baking is in full swing at the Crumby Casa!
It’s ever so slowly starting to cool off here in the south, and cinnamon brooms have arrived at every grocery store in the area, filling my world with the scents and feels of autumn.
Cue the dreamy sigh.
If you’re a fan of pumpkin and spice and everything nice, then my crazy obsession will benefit you!
And if not, well. Hang on. It’ll be over soon enough.
For the time being, pull up a chair and a wine glass, and share a few sips of this Fall Harvest Sangria with me!
JUST TAKE ME TO THE FALL HARVEST ALREADY!
If you’d rather skip my (pretty darn helpful) tips and tricks, essential cooking info, and similar recipe ideas – and get straight to this deliciously easy fall sangria recipe, just scroll right on down to the bottom of the page where you can find the printable recipe card!
I cannot get over how warm and fuzzy this drink makes me feel!
As you can see, I made a rather large amount, and I’ve taken to retiring to my backyard every evening, glass in hand, to take in the descending autumn air.
Being outside is nicest in the morning and evenings, now.
Daytime is tolerable, but still very humid and far too summery for my taste.
I’m ready for pumpkin carving and Halloween costume shopping!
To those of you that live further north, be sure to take time to really appreciate the change of seasons!
I would love to see the leaves change and actually have to bundle up to go on a hay ride!
Send me photos, so I can ogle your gorgeous, fiery sunsets.
Better yet, send me selfies in the sunset with a glass of this sangria in your hand. 🙂
It’s honest-to-goodness delicious!
Straight apple cider would work fine on its own as a base, but simmering it with the spices and honey really gives the finished product a lovely warmth.
It doesn’t only fill your mouth, it fills your soul.
Ugh, I’m choking on my own sappiness, here.
Oh. And the apples and pears are a nice little boozy treat to snack on after.
As for the star fruit…I’m not exactly sure of its “fall” factor, but it sure looks cute!

PIN THIS HARVEST SANGRIA FOR LATER!
Skye @ Planet Jinxatron says
My mom would have been a lot less stressed out if the sangria her cousin brought to my mom’s last party was this color instead of red! 🙂
erica acevedo says
Hahaha, yeah, red wine makes me nervous too, tbh! But they’re both so delish!!
Anna S. says
This looks so good! I would love to make those this weekend!
erica acevedo says
It’s super easy and delicious!!

erica acevedo says
Thank you for the pin! Sangria is one of my faves, also. It’s extremely versatile!

What a delicious way to welcome Fall, especially for us in Florida. Cheers!
erica acevedo says
It really is! It’s rolling in slowly, but this is a great way to get in the mood!
Maria says
Great post and recipe! I saw an apple tree for the first time last week when visiting my husband’s family in IL. So, I’ve been craving apples in every way! This looks so refreshing and appropriate for us in Florida. Thank you!

12 things: 1. I *ADORE* cinnamon brooms! Aren’t they the best?!? 2. This sangria looks incredible, and I can’t wait to try it…even though I’m in NC and it’s still hot as Hades here as well. C. What a cute blog! Just ran across it for the first time this morning (Yay, Foodgawker!). 4. I’ll definitely be back! Thanks for the recipe 🙂
erica acevedo says
I have so many dried out, scentless cinnamon brooms from over the years, I could start a used car lot for witches, LOL. Trust me, the drink doesn’t care how hot it is! 🙂 Thank you soso much for stopping by! I totally checked out your blog, as well…and I’m pretty sure we might be soulmates, basked on the Harry Potter/Pumpkin obsessions…just sayin’ 😀

Girl, I’m already on it. <3 Those short ribs and horchata sound to good to pass up!!!
Rosemarie Maldonado says
I need to make one gallon of this. How much does your recipe make? I appreciate your response. Excited to make this!
erica acevedo says
You get about 6.5-7 8 oz. cups per recipe, so a double recipe will get you just under a gallon. Might as well triple it! LOL let me know how it turns out, Rosemarie!
allisondarie says
looks delicious but i have a silly question – is this two separate recipes or do you use spicy cider for the sangria? thanks!
erica acevedo says
Not silly at all, Allison! You make the spicy cider and use it IN the sangria itself. I can see how the instructions would be confusing, since I left out the directions to add it in the pitcher, and I appreciate you pointing it out to me!

Fabulous cocktail!!
Christen says
Any suggestions for subbing the Ginger Brandy/Bourbon? I can’t find it at any of our local liquor stores. Thinking of using regular brandy and ginger ale instead of club soda maybe?
Erica says
I would imagine that substituting regular brandy and ginger ale/beer would work just fine!
Sabrina says
wonderful recipe, love it, and may try with red instead if white, if you don’t mind, love the cinnamon, cloves and other fall spices, thank you for this recipe!
Rebecca says
This looks awesome. I made 2 batches for girls Glamping weekend. I used 750 ml wine, hope that is what you consider a bottle. Did not add as much fruit, as it stands my jar is 1/2 fruit so not sure I did everything correct. We shall see!
Erica says
Hi Rebecca! Indeed a 750ml bottle is the right size! Don’t worry about the fruit ratio, either – that’s a personal preference. I just like to nibble it after it’s been soaking for a while. 🙂 Enjoy your glamping trip, and thanks for commenting!
