Make this Valentine’s Day one that the special people in your life will remember. February 14th is a day to show you care.

Some of the easiest ways to make people feel special is with a phone call or send a card (there’s still time.)

However if you want to do more and  are having a difficult time coming up with a great idea for your one and only Valentine read on. Don’t let your special Valentine look at you with tears in his/her eyes saying, “Did you forget Valentine’s Day again?” Or perhaps when you give a bouquet of flowers, you hear, “Honey, you know I’m allergic to roses.” Rather than risk disappointment consider some of the other ideas below.

1. If you know they enjoy wine, why not a bottle of wine with a dinner invitation or a box of chocolate.
2. Offer a visit to a nearby winery. You may want to check out wineries with restaurants and lodging.
3. Discover wine trails in your area and invite your Valentine to travel a wine trail with you.
4. Looking for something for a cook? Check out grape seed oil at AprèsVin. This boutique company also produces gluten free flour and soaps from grape seeds.
5. Another idea is a gift of a book. Find out more about A Wine Journey, A Wine Tourist’s
