Here at Your Sussex Wedding, we love these Valentine's Day gift ideas from the county's very own Bolney Wine Estate...
PRIVATE VIRTUAL WINE TASTING WITH BESPOKE BOTTLE ENGRAVINGS
Whether you can be with your loved one or not this Valentine’s Day, celebrate with Bolney Wine Estate’s virtual wine tastings and add your personal touch with an engraved message on the bottle. Let Bolney’s experts guide you through their award-winning wines such as their Cuvée Rosé, Eighteen Acre Rosé, Blanc de Blancs and Cuvée Pinot Noir to see, swirl, sniff and sip a selection of wines as you go from amateur to connoisseur. Bolney can create a bespoke package to include any of their wines and offer wine and food pairing tasting packages with cheese and chocolate selections.
Tasting Note An elegant and delicate, single vintage, traditional method sparkling wine. Salmon pink in colour in the glass full of lots of tiny bubbles. Floral and red apple aromas lead to red apple and cranberry on the palate with a bright fresh finish and lovely length.
Food Match Pairs perfectly with hors d’oeuvres and starts, great with cheese, fish and some red berry desserts.
What’s in the box? Bolney’s Eighteen Acre Rosé is a vibrant, deep pink with elegant mousse in the glass. On the nose this wine expresses aromas of red fruits, particularly that of ripe strawberries and red cherries. These aromas are continued over to the palate with layers of complexity from the lees aging, with a sweet spice character.
A collection of hand dipped and decorated truffles featuring Bolney’s Eighteen Acre Sparkling Rosé, made by local chocolatiers Noble & Stace. Made from a milk chocolate and fresh cream ganache, carefully blended with the sparkling wine, resulting in a deliciously fruity taste experience. Each truffle is then dipped in milk or dark chocolate and hand decorated.
What’s in the box? A 70cl bottle of Bolney Estate Gin and a box of 6 Noble & Stace Sussex Gin Truffles made with Bolney Gin.
Bolney Estate Gin is a classic, dry English gin. Its vibrant freshess of lemon oil and fennel is delicately balanced with hints of bay and juniper. As richly scented as a country hedgerow, it has an earthy, floral depth and a spiciness on the nose to finish.
Noble & Stace like to think of their truffles as a collection of edible modern art. Crafted by hand, bursting with flavour, unexpected textures and boldly decorated.

The era of the predictable wedding singalong is officially dead, according to new data from entertainment agency Jonny Ross Music. New figures have revealed that Britain's couples are ruthlessly blacklisting the nation's favourite party anthems from their big days. A shocking analysis of playlist requests shows that legendary floor-fillers are being banished to the 'Do Not Play' list. Modern couples are ordering DJs to completely snub overplayed staples like 'Uptown Funk' and 'Mr Brightside'. But Brits are not turning their backs on the dancefloor.
