If you’re anything like me, you hate fighting the crowds at restaurants on Valentine’s Day. Fussing with finding a reservation, dealing with an overcrowded restaurant, and paying steep prices are not what I’m looking for. A romantic night in with a comforting meal, good wine, and candle-lit ambiance is much more appealing. And this year, Gratsi and Zelli Pasta have collaborated to make the perfect at-home date night even easier with their Valentine’s Bundle.
The Gratsi and Zelli Pasta Valentine’s Bundle sets you up for success on the day of love. It comes with two boxes of Zelle’s small-batch organic pasta (trottole and rigatoni) plus two tomato sauces. You won’t need to worry about planning what to make for dinner, and you can trust that the ingredients are quality and sure to impress. Plus, the company is family-owned and Arkansas-based, so you are supporting a small business.
Of course, an Italian dinner isn’t complete without the wine. The Valentine’s box also features a Gratsi wine sampler, which includes 375ml bottles of Gratsi’s red, white, and rosé, plus two bottles of sparkling wine. All of the wines are zero-sugar, taste fantastic, and won’t leave you with a headache the next day. You’ll also get a tasting guide and two of the company’s bàcaro glasses, which are named after and inspired by casual Italian restaurants where locals gather for a pour of wine before dinner. You’ll feel like you’re living the Italian life while sipping out of the perfectly-sized glasses.
The Valentine’s box takes the work out of planning your Valentine’s dinner, so you can focus on enjoying the evening. All that’s missing is a good loaf of bread, a tantalizing dessert, and some candles. You can buy the limited edition drop for $80, or gift it to someone you know who could use a relaxing night in.
