This Is Your Sign to Ditch Valentine’s Dinner
Valentine’s Day has somehow turned into the most stressful night of the year. Hard to get reservations, overpriced menus, awkward silences, and a waiter hovering while you pretend you are having the best night ever.
Or… you could just come to a winery.
Grab a glass. Walk around. Listen to music. Flirt. Laugh. Take photos. Dance if the vibe is right. Actually enjoy yourself instead of being stuck at a tiny table for two hours.
You Get to Dress Up and Actually Show It Off
What is the point of a good outfit if you are sitting down the whole night?
At a winery you can:
Walk around with your drink
Take cute photos
Run into friends
Move, mingle, roam
It feels like a night out, not a dinner interview.
You Can Bring Whoever You Want
Valentine’s is not just couples. It is:
Your partner
Your best friend
Your group chat
Your situationship
Your third wheel who refuses to stay home
A winery does not care. Everyone belongs. Everyone gets wine.

What to Order When You Spend Valentine’s at the Winery
So you skipped the dinner. You showed up. Now what do you order?
These are the Valentine’s reds people always gravitate toward at Holesinsky.
Syrah
If you want something bold and full-bodied.
This is the go-to for people who love rich reds and big flavor.
Deep, dark fruit, spice, and a smooth, powerful finish.
Great if you usually order Cabernet or Malbec.
Merlot
If you want something smooth and easy.
This one is soft, approachable, and a crowd favorite.
Plum, cherry, and subtle vanilla with a cozy mouthfeel. Plus, this one just beat out every Napa Merlot in this year’s San Francisco Chronicle Wine Awards!
You kinda have to try the literal best Merlot of the year!!!
Grenache
If you want something lighter and more playful.
Bright, juicy red berries with a super drinkable finish.
This one is great for anyone who usually lean toward rosé or lighter reds.
So yes, skip the dinner.
Have the wine.
Have the fun.
Have the kind of Valentine’s Day night with good memories that last forever.
