45 North’s Apple Pie Wine Slushy

Bottoms Up

By Anna Faller | Oct. 18, 2025

It’s high time for pie time, and this season, we’ll be enjoying ours in liquid form at 45 North Vineyard and Winery, where the buzzworthy Apple Pie Wine Slushy (and its partnered pumpkin version) are back on the menu! A seasonal twist on the summer frozé, these fall-ified bevvies start with a base of the winery’s estate-grown Pinot Gris, featuring crisp notes of apple and tropical fruit with honey-drenched florals and bright acidity. The wine is blended with a sachet of baking spices and rich apple butter made from apple pie filling cooked down with a homemade brown sugar syrup. Topped off with a dollop of fresh whipped cream and a pumpkin cinnamon sugar donut from Gallagher’s Farm Market & Bakery, these slurpable treats are autumn in a glass.
