I learned about Soleil Mimosa at the 2016 Santa Fe Wine & Chile Fiesta. Amongst the diverse groups of Wine, Prosecco and Champagne, Soleil Mimosa was the STAR of the show for me. I sampled all four varieties at more than one Wine & Chile event and it quickly became a favorite and is my go-to bottled mimosa.

Soleil Mimosa is a product of New Mexico’s St. Clair Winery and is available in four varieties including a Classic Orange, Pomegranate, Pineapple and Mango. Mimosa comes in 750 ml glass bottles and packs of four-187 ml cans.

I am a huge fan of Soleil Mimosa, primarily because of the sweet-crisp flavors, its four varieties, the light effervescence, and the perfectly blended and proportioned juice and white wine. My experience with effervescent or sparkling wines is that they lose their carbonation rather quickly. I unwilling opened a new Pomegranate bottle, knowing I would not drink it all. I sealed the bottle with a wine preserver after drinking a couple of glasses and to my surprise, the Pomegranate Mimosa was just as delicious and effervescent the next day.
Of the four varieties, Pomegranate is my top favorite followed by Pineapple and Orange. I love Soleil Mimosa’s no fuss factor. If I am hosting a brunch, I don’t have to purchase both a bubbly and juice nor worry about pouring the right combination of both liquids for a balanced cocktail. The Soleil minis are perfect for picnics, tailgating or poolside cocktails. The price point for this Mimosa is also reasonable, ranging from $8.99 – $11 per 750 ml bottle, depending on the retailer.
The Total Wine & More off of 6105 Capital Blvd, Raleigh, NC 27616 has Soleil Mimosa in stock and sells for $8.99 a bottle.
Although I typically reserve Soleil Mimosa’s for brunch, they pair perfectly with any meal. I had a glass of Pomegranate Mimosa to accompany a Big Double Burger from the Cook Out and the combination was delicious. I have also paired Mimosa with cheese and fruit and the occasional Schezuan take-out.
Soleil Mimosa is easy to pair with all meals, including the Big Double Burger from the Cook Out.
Soleil Mimosa can be ordered directly online from St. Clair Winery or Total Wine. There are other major retailers that carry Soleil, however, not all retail locations have the product or all varieties in stock. For a list of major retailers, visit Soleil Mimosa Retailers. The Total Wine & More in Raleigh, NC off of 6105 Capital Blvd, has Soleil Mimosa in stock and sells for $8.99. If you do try Mimosa, let me know which variety is your favorite! As as big fan of Mimosa, I hope to take a trip to visit St. Clair’s Winery and explore their other wines. Cheers!
St. Clair is New Mexico’s largest winery.
I am a big Mimosa lover and for them to have it as a wine in the store is perfection! I will totally try these.

I love a good mimosa but have never heard of this brand before. Definitely something I am willing to try! Thanks for sharing!
If you do end up trying Soleil Mimosa, let me know which flavor you try
I’m not sure I’ve ever had a mimosa! But it’s great that this brand is so convenient – and I would have never have thought to pair it with Cookout! Haha my fiance was walking by my computer and saw the picture of the mimosa and burger and he was like, “Looks like she had a way more fun night that we did!” ?
Lol! Yes, The pomegranate Mimosa was perfect with my Cookout burger. If you haven’t tried a Mimosa, yet you definitely should try one during a weekend brunch.
These look (and sound) really good! I’m a stickler for Moscato but this would be a nice change. I love Mango so I will try that flavor first. Thanks for giving me a new drink to try!
Yayyy! Let me know how you like it. The pomegranate Mimoda was a surprising flavor for me. I absolutely loved it. Look out for my next blog post where I share a bottle of sangria that is absolutely amazing.
Wow! A bottled mimosa? I need need need this in my life. I have actually never seen this before. I’m in Greensboro so I will have to see if I can find it here.
Ashley if you cannot find it at a local Total Wine, try ordering it off of Amazon.com or from the winery. I provide the links in my blog. Cheers!!!
