It’s that time of the year again when the birdsong sounds sweeter and the very air seems still in anticipation for the day of LOVE! Valentine’s day is just around the corner, and here are some wonderful ideas to spruce up your celebration with your significant other.
Nothing says romantic more than a delicious home cooked meal.
Surprise your partner this Valentine’s day with a tasty spread, all made with love and of course (don’t forget), their favourite wine. If cooking isn’t your forte, don’t fret. Order in all your favourites and turn it into a home picnic, complete with artfully arranged dishes, and the perfect table setting.
Good food is made better when paired with the perfect wine.Whether a Merlot mesmerizes you or a Chardonnay charms your taste buds, take your pick from a wide range of non-alcoholic wines available at Ouarda. Maybe try your hand as a bartender and whip
up some special wine cocktails (recipes below). As your partner relaxes into the rest of the evening you have planned for him/her with a stimulating glass of wine, lay back and indulge in some heart to heart, brought on by a tummy filled with yummy food and a heart full of love.
Take a walk, wine glass in hand, and lead your significant other along a path of flowers, preferably roses and astound them with a private treasure hunt, taking them to a series of places with emotional value and add some bling to it by hiding gifts to further awe them, along the way.
Soft, yellow lights can further take your date to the next level. So, don’t skimp on the candles. Being a special occasion, keep all electronics away and create the perfect scene to enhance intimacy. Dim lighting and your partner’s favourite ballads complete the setup. Dance the rest of the night away.After a delightful date of wining, dining, dancing and more, end the perfect Valentine’s day by cracking open a bottle of champagne. The Vendôme Mademoiselle Sparkling Classic and Vendôme Mademoiselle sparkling Rosé make for a great choice. Come on, raise your glasses to everlasting love.
