Raspberry Peach Sangria Trifle Recipe
A couple weekends ago, the hubs, his mom and I all went up to Dahlonega, which is in the Georgia mountains. It’s about an hour drive from where we are a bit North of Atlanta. It was out first time up there and it was so pretty being in the mountains.
One of the neat activities up there is that there are actually a fair number of Georgia wineries. And after our South African wine tasting experience, the hubs thought it would be fun to take his mom and I up there.
It was a great idea! We ended up doing two tastings.
One was at the actual vineyard and was called Wolf Mountain Vineyard. The grapes were right by the road you drive in on, so it was neat to check them out. And the tasting room looked right over the mountains. It was beautiful view and great spot to have a little wine.
The other place we went was actually a tasting room right in downtown Dahlonega called the Dahlonega Tasting Room. They had three different labels of wines – including quite a few sweet ones, which is right up my alley.
We ended up leaving with several bottles, including a Habersham Winery Peach Treat wine. It was recommended that I try it over peaches and pound cake, so I decided to make a trifle. 🙂
If you are a sangria fan, you’ll love this trifle!
How to Make This Summer Sangria Trifle
To start, you’ll want to peel and slice the peaches, then soak them in some sweet white wine. If you can find one with a peachy flavor to it, all the better. But if not, grab your favorite sweet white wine and go for it.
Like with sangria, the longer you soak the peaches, the more wine they’ll absorb. So soak them more or less time depending on your preference. I’d recommend one to two hours. You can taste a peach after the first hour and see if you think it needs more.
To go with the peaches, you’ll want some raspberries. The raspberries were the perfect compliment to the peaches and wine and I would definitely not leave them out.
The fruit is layered with pound cake and whipped cream. I mixed a little left over wine into my whipped cream, giving it a slightly wine-y flavor, but that’d be optional. It’s not going to be very strong, but does compliment the wine in the peaches.
For the pound cake, I went simple and bought a pre-made Butter Pound Cake by Sara Lee. I actually used about one and half pound cakes. But if you have a homemade recipe you prefer, go for it.
Once everything is layered into your dish, give it a few hours in the fridge for all the flavors to settle.
This trifle is easy to put together and makes a really fun presentation. The flavors are a little different to, so it’s nice summertime treat. Enjoy!

Can something be substituted for wine? I don’t do alcohol.
You could just leave the wine out. You don’t have to soak the fruit in anything. The point of it is to use the wine, but if you don’t want the wine just don’t use it.
looks yummy and very colorful will try
Does the pound cake get soggy? How long would this last in the refrigerator?
It didn’t get soggy for us. I’d say 3-4 days in the fridge would be best, as long your fruit holds up.
I wonder if using the lemon pound cake would clash with the flavors?
It doesn’t sound great to me, but feel free to try it. 🙂
Love the idea of soaking the peaches in white wine. Great recipe!
Somebody get me a spoon! This trifle is just GORGEOUS Lindsay!! Now I can have my sangria and drink it too 🙂
Would it be wrong if I said I wanted to dive head first into this?
Sangria fan or not how can you not love this epic treat?! YUM!
Sangria is my weakness!! Love this recipe! What a great idea 🙂
This is one gorgeous trifle and I love that you used that peach wine in it! Now that sounds like a wine that I would love!
I’ve honestly been craving sangria since MAY. Except I can never find a place that sells it, and I’m too lazy to make my own.
But now my craving has been taking to a whole new level because this trifle looks AMAZING! Pinned!
I can now add “visit a Georgia winery” to my bucket list. That sounds fantastic! I love when little trips yield unexpected gems. It makes for pretty awesome memories, too.
And this is a pretty awesome dessert. It’s gorgeous, too, which dessert should be if it possibly can. 🙂
Can you use frozen (thawed) peaches for this recipe, or do they really need to be fresh?
Frozen and thawed should be fine.
