Just because you can’t go out doesn’t mean you can’t arrange a date full of #Martelism.

You don’t have to wait for the end of lockdown to arrange a date full of #Martelism. Whether it’s a special occasion or just to spend some downtime with your partner, these tips can help you organise the perfect date at home.

1. Invite your partner… or surprise them!

It’s not just another dinner at home, so to make it special you can choose two from strategies: either completely surprise your partner when they get home or send them an invitation, telling them to get ready for a magical evening.

2. Good music

A good soundtrack is essential for organising the perfect at-home date. If you’re unsure where to start, the “Chill at Home” playlist on our Spotify account is a good place to start. Remember, it’s a romantic dinner, so put the music on in the background and let your conversation take centre stage.

3.Decorate the table

Besides music, one way to make the evening even more special is to put something beautiful on the table. Martelo picked up a few tricks at the Table Setting workshop run by Yanire Caro at one of the Inspiring Days. If you weren’t able to catch it, the video above can give you some ideas.

4. Order in from your favourite restaurant

Just because you can’t book a table at your favourite restaurant doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy its specialties. By now there are many fine dining venues offering take-away or pick-up. Here are some recommendations from Finca Martelo: Rocacho (Madrid), Mano Lenta (Vitoria-Gasteiz), La Huerta Vieja (Laguardia) and La Lobera de Martín (Zaragoza), among others.

5. Add the finishing touch with a bottle of Finca Martelo

At this point, I think we can agree it’s time to uncork that bottle of Finca Martelo you had put away for a special occasion. If you don’t have any left in the cellar you can always order a crate from our official store and we will send it to you ASAP.

Follow these steps and success is guaranteed. You have Martelo’s word on it.
