Plan the perfect Valentine's Day with Stellenbosch Vineyards

On Valentine’s Day, the last thing you want to do is get stuck in a Netflix and takeout rut — or worse, end up at a cheesy, overpriced, and fully packed restaurant. Whether you’re single, coupled up, or somewhere in between, ensure your Valentine’s Day is free of clichés with these non-boring ideas, below.

Valentine’s Day: Get Inspired

Breakfast date

Start the day off fresh and fruity: Pair our Arniston Bay Infusions Peach, Mango and Passion fruit with a delicious bowl of freshly baked granola and yoghurt. Add a tart berry compote for some zing. Serve your Infusions with a dash of mango juice to create a fun-loving mimosa!

Lunch date

A memorable picnic: Find the perfect spot to lay down a large blanket, pillows and your sweetheart’s favourite picnic snacks. Finish it all off with a bottle of Welmoed Chardonnay. This wine pairs perfectly with the rich picnic spread of cheese and meat. Nothing says ‘I love you’ quite like wine, carbs and the great outdoors! #instantromance guaranteed!

Dinner date

The grand finale: If you’re in the mood to cook a romantic dinner for your Valentine, we recommend pairing our show-stopper Stellenbosch Vineyards Credo Shiraz with a delicious grilled sparerib dish. These two are a match made in heaven as the fruity, oaky and smoky flavours from the wine compliments the charred taste of the ribs. For sides, serve a fresh garden salad and vegetables. This dinner is one way of getting handsy on Valentine’s Day!
