Valentine’s Day is all about slowing down & taking notice of what’s special to you. Like how much you love your partner (or yourself), or more importantly, which wine should you pair with dinner on the most romantic night of the year? Whether it’s a dramatic candlelit dinner, or a more low-key setting, the right wine can take the night from ‘nice’ to unforgettable.
Here are 4 easy, Valentine’s themed pairings featuring our current special selection:
💫 Sparkling Brut + Fresh Oysters or Creamy Pasta
The Vibe: A classic, bright, elegant, fresh & flirtatious
There’s something undeniably romantic about popping open a bottle of bubbles. Crisp, dry & refreshing, it’s the perfect match for fresh seafood like oysters, prawns, or scallops. The bright acidity cuts through natural salinity & creamy textures beautifully.
If seafood isn’t on the V-Day menu, try pairing it with a creamy pasta — think lemon fettuccine, carbonara, or mushroom risotto. The bubbles lift the richness, keeping things light and indulgent at the same time.
Why we love it:
✔ Cleanses the palate
✔ Elevates rich or briny flavours
✔ Feels instantly celebratory
❤️ Sparkling Shiraz + Steak or Dark Chocolate Desserts
Best for: A bold, Valentine’s dinner meets a dramatic flair.
Sparkling Shiraz brings the romance with deep berry flavours, subtle spice & fine, delicate bubbles. It’s a stunning match for a perfectly cooked steak, roast lamb, or duck — especially dishes with caramelised edges or strong peppery seasoning.
For dessert lovers, it also pairs wonderfully with dark chocolate, chocolate fondant or, if you’re feeling creative, homemade chocolate-covered strawberries. The richness of the wine mirrors the intensity of the chocolate without overpowering it.
Why it works:
✔ Bold flavours stand up to rich dishes
✔ Sweet-savory balance
✔ Ideal for sharing one last glass by candlelight
🌿 Italian Whites (Fiano & Vermentino) + Mediterranean Dishes
Best for: Long lunches, relaxed romance, or summer evenings
Our Italian white wine pack — featuring our 2025 Fiano & Vermentino — is made for food. These wines shine alongside Mediterranean flavours like grilled seafood, antipasto platters, fresh salads, and herb-driven dishes.
Fiano pairs beautifully with roasted chicken, creamy cheeses, and dishes with citrus or fennel, while Vermentino loves fresh seafood, olives, lemon, and olive oil-based recipes.
Why it works:
✔ Food-friendly acidity
✔ Fresh, vibrant flavours
✔ Perfect for sharing a long, relaxed meal
💗 Sweet Wines & Magenta + Dessert (or Dessert as Dinner)
Best for: For the sweet-toothed romantics making the day even sweeter.
Valentine’s Day is the one night where dessert can absolutely be the main event. Our Magenta wine — sweet, vibrant, and easy-drinking — pairs beautifully with chocolate, berries, and creamy desserts.
For something extra indulgent, explore our range of sweet wines alongside cheesecake, panna cotta, tiramisu, or a simple bowl of fresh strawberries. These wines are also perfect for gifting if you’re not sure what your Valentine prefers.
Why it works:
✔ Crowd-pleasing sweetness
✔ Effortless dessert pairing
✔ Perfect for sharing or gifting
🍷 Celebrate Love, Your Way
Choose a wine that matches your menu (or your mood), and let the food do the talking. Because the best Valentine’s moments are shared over good food, great wine, and a little extra time together.
Cheers to love 💕
