Valentine’s Day 2023: desserts, wines and dinners at home

cWhether you have joined the Dry January, the Veganuary or the seasonal detox ritual, or even not, let’s face it Valentine’s Day is a great excuse to happily indulge in a delicious chocolate, perhaps accompanied by a good glass of bubbly. Whether you are a couple or not.

And this year more than ever confectioners and chocolatiers they worked hard to pack delicious pralines in the shape of a heart or collected in beautiful gift boxes. Boxes to give as gifts, to be given as gifts but also to buy for yourself. Because if we don’t love ourselves, how can we love others?

Whether your passion is chocolate, pistachio, candies or biscuits, this year there is something for all tastes.

The perfect atmosphere

Whether you decide to celebrate at home or away, there are many possibilities to experience a special evening. From the carefully set table to the right restaurant in which to eat wonderfully. If we decide to stay at home, in addition to giving due attention to the menu, it is important to create the right atmosphere. Dim the lights, maybe perfume the air with sensual or relaxing aromas, set the table choosing warm colours and maybe adorn both the table and the house with objects and accessories that taste like celebration and love. Below are some ideas and suggestions.

The right bottle for Valentine’s Day

Finally, let’s not underestimate the power of the right bottle of wine to celebrate life and love. Without exaggerating, but choosing only the best, here are some glasses that can only bring panache to the evening of February 14th, and beyond.

We can choose one bottle of Champagne with dedication Moet & Chandon or Veuve Clicquot. Or bet on one special box or an engraved bottle from Franciacorta. Or maybe opt for a cocktail, perhaps based on local prosecco. But seeing that chocolate also goes very well with redwhy not bet everything on a good glass that can accompany us from the beginning to the end of the meal.

And if, on the other hand, no one wants to cook or set the table, then here’s how to spend a special evening away from home.
