Sip, Savor, and Celebrate: Fun Valentine's Week Wine Ideas for Everyone!

Sip, Savor, and Celebrate: Fun Valentine's Week Wine Ideas for Everyone!

Love is in the Air…or at least in your glass : Fun Valentine’s Day Ideas for Everyone

Valentine’s Day is all about love—whether it’s romantic, self-love, friendship, or even a deep appreciation for a good bottle of wine. At Market Wines, we believe that February 14th should be a day to savor, no matter your relationship status. Whether you’re celebrating solo, with a partner, with friends, or even with your best furry friend (because let’s be honest, they’re the real loves), we’ve got exciting, wine-filled ideas for everyone.


For the Lovebirds: A Romantic Night In


Skip the busy restaurants this year and create a romantic wine and dine experience at home. Think candles, music…you get the vibe? Here’s what you’ll need:



The Wine Pairing



A bottle of delicious Pinot Noir: we love the Pinot from Domaine Girard both for its taste and price point. If you’re feeling extra festive, a rosé Champagne brings bubbles and romance to the table. We have a crush on this amazing bottle from Laherte, it won’t disappoint.

 

 

The Menu

 

Keep it simple but elevated —think creamy pasta,  and a cheese and charcuterie board- maybe from your favorite part of the world. Want an easy option? Order takeout from your favorite restaurant to pair perfectly with your wine selection.


For the Singles: A Treat-Yourself Wine & Dine


Who says Valentine’s Day is just for couples? Being single means you get to a night in to eat and drink whatever you want—no compromise necessary!

 


The Wine Pairing 

 

A bold Cabernet Sauvignon which is easy to sip and doesn’t break the bank. We love this exciting Cabernet Sauvignon from Pioneer- easy to sip, perfect to pair with food. Not feeling like red? Why not try a crisp Sauvignon Blanc? Check out our top selling Sauvignon Blanc from Holy Snail. It’s the perfect wine to treat yourself with and each sip will leave you wanting more.

 

 

The Plan

 

• Cook (or order) your absolute favorite meal. This is your night, so make it extra special- calories don’t count tonight my friend!

• Put on a feel-good movie or binge-watch a show you love: we are thinking a great chick flick (Notebook anyone?) or some reality TV- maybe some Love is Blind?

• Pamper yourself—take a bubble bath, put on a face mask, or enjoy a cozy night wrapped in your softest blanket with your wine of choice in hand.


For the Couples Who’ve Been Together Forever


If you and your partner have celebrated many Valentine’s Days together, it’s time to shake things up a little!



The Wine Pairing 

 

Something nostalgic that takes you back to a previous vacation, memory or moment. If you want to try something new, go for an aged Bordeaux like this one that we are loving on our shelves right now. Or, perhaps you go for a classic Barolo- like the Brezza Barbera D’Alba, to symbolize the richness of your time together.


 

The Plan

 

• Take a minute to reflect on your time together and let your partner know what it is you love most about them. It’s a small but meaningful way to reflect on your journey.

• Have a “first date” do-over—recreate the meal, the music, and ambience of one of your first dates.

• Plan a blind wine tasting at home. Pick a few bottles, cover the labels, and try to guess the varietals. Bonus points if you make it a little competitive! The wines we list above would make this a lot of fun!


For the New Daters: A Low-Pressure, Fun Date


If you’re in the early stages of dating, Valentine’s Day can feel like a lot. The key? Keep it low-key, fun, and relaxed.

 


The Wine Pairing 

 

A fun, easy drinking Pinot Grigio for an easygoing vibe. This one from Gregoris is a great wine to start the night with. If you’re feeling festive, go for the pink wine. We love a good rosé, especially this one from Famille La Place. It’s cute bottle will definitely spark a conversation to get the night going.


 

The Plan

 

• Do a DIY wine and pizza night—grab the wines above and pair them with various pizza toppings. It’s casual, interactive, and delicious.

• Throw on a show in the background while you sip your wine and cook the pizza. This keeps things casual and takes the pressure off.

• Have a “get to know you” game night—play trivia, card games, or even a silly board game while sipping the wines you grabbed for the evening.


For the Galentines & Palentines: A Friends-Only Wine Party


Valentine’s Day isn’t just for romance—it’s also the perfect excuse to gather your best friends for a fun, wine-filled celebration.



The Wine Pairing

 

A sparkling rosé to kick off the evening because life is always more fun with bubbles. We love this Prosecco from Val D’oca. It’s easy, approachable and perfectly balanced. The move on to a fun French Chardonnay to pair perfectly with your girl dinner. We love this one from La Negly- it will be the perfect pairing to your evening.


 

The Plan

 

• Host a wine and appetizer night—stock up on different cheeses, crackers and snacks (popcorn and Chardonnay anyone?) and see which wines complement the wines best.

• Have a rom-com marathon- perfect for lounging with your girls or fur friends on the couch with snacks and wine on hand.

• Do a DIY wine tasting where everyone brings a bottle under a certain price limit. Get everyone to explain why it’s their favorite bottle and vote on your faves!


For the Pet Parents: A Snuggle & Sip Night


Your pet may not be able to drink wine with you (sorry, buddy), but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a cozy Valentine’s together!

 

The Wine Pairing 

 

A red blend that’s easy to sip and savour. We love this blend from one of our most popular producers Jeff Carrel. If bubbles are more your vibe, grab this bottle- champagne at an affordable price point? Yes, please!


The Plan

 

• Cuddle up with your furry friend, a cozy blanket, and a great book or movie.

• Treat your pet to something special—maybe a new toy, extra treats, or a fun walk if they love adventures.

• If you want to get extra fancy, pour yourself a glass of wine while they enjoy a pet-friendly treat, and toast to unconditional love!


No matter how you choose to celebrate, one thing’s for sure—wine makes everything better. Whether you’re toasting to love, friendship, self-care, or just a really good glass of vino, make this Valentine’s Day about what makes you happy.
