Let the Games Begin

March 12, 2025

Entertain old friends or break the ice with new ones over a game’s night, great food, and a glass of Cloudy Bay Chardonnay.
Games Night with a bottle of Cloudy Bay wine and friends

Whether you’re catching up with your regular crew or welcoming someone new to the group, hosting a games night is the perfect way to bring everyone together. The night is one where laughter fills the room, friendly rivalries spark across the table, and everyone gets a little too competitive over that final round. More than just fun, it’s about laughter, connection, conversation, and the convivial clink of glasses as you toast to great company. From pop culture trivia to classic cards, every game is an opportunity to reconnect, unwind, and enjoy the moment. And of course, no games night is complete without the perfect pairing: a glass of Cloudy Bay Chardonnay.

Cloudy Bay Chardonnay is one for connoisseurs and gastronomic adventurers: refined, poised and balanced.

Elevate the evening by curating the perfect blend of food, wine and fun. These tacos with creamy chicken tinga & herby beans find their match in the Chardonnay's vibrant acidity, while their indulgent texture mirrors the wine’s creamy finish. Add in the herby freshness of the beans, and you have a meal that’s as bold and balanced as the Chardonnay itself – a guaranteed games-night winner. 

It's a dish designed to be shared, enjoyed one-handed between turns, and paired perfectly with the crisp, refreshing notes of the Cloudy Bay Chardonnay.

Games night checklist:

  • An uplifting playlist to match the fun mood and energy (because great music makes everything better)
  • A range of games to choose from - ask guests to each bring their favourite! Think quick rounds of trivia, a high-stakes card game, or even a nostalgic board game that brings out the best (and worst) in everyone. 
  • Pre-dinner snacks or a cheeseboard – because every great game needs great fuel!
  • A bottle of Cloudy Bay Chardonnay – your winning move for the night
  • White wine glasses
  • Pen and paper to keep score or settle any friendly disputes! Bonus points if you create a leaderboard for the most competitive in the group…
