Tips for planning the perfect night
Choose the movie well
It's all about enjoying time together, so choose a film that everyone in your group will enjoy. We suggest some titles that include love stories, dramas, comedies, and documentaries about wine culture and the wine industry, offering insight into the importance of vineyards and wine production in culture and heritage:

Decorate the space for the occasion
Create a cozy, comfortable atmosphere with dim lighting and pillows so you can relax and enjoy the movie.
Prepare the drink
Buy a special bottle of wine and prepare your glasses for the evening. We suggest an underwater red wine, such as Sea Soul No. 8 or Sea Passion No. 9 .
Pair it to your liking
Prepare some appetizers (or buy them if you don't have time) to enjoy while watching the movie. There's no need to complicate things if you don't have time. A plate of ham, pâté, cheese, and some bread to accompany these wines is enough to pair with them. If you like popcorn, try seasoning it with olive oil, fresh rosemary, and a little grated Parmesan cheese. If you're craving something sweet, some chocolate-coated strawberries are always a hit.
Enjoy the moment
Turn off your phones and enjoy the movie and the wine.
Have a relaxed conversation
It seems like we shouldn't mention this step, but in our hectic daily lives, sometimes we need a relaxed space to talk and enjoy a pleasant conversation, along with a good wine.
In short, finding a moment to relax and enjoy each other's company is easier than it seems; sometimes, all it takes is an excuse.
