In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the apple cider, pomegranate juice, honey, cinnamon, star anise, pear, and orange, about 5 to 7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Remove from heat and let cool. Remove the cinnamon sticks.
In a pitcher, add ice, juice mixture, the bottle of cabernet, any extra diced pear, sliced oranges, and pomegranate seeds. Stir to combine and pour into glasses and top with soda water.
