As we ramp up for the big Valentine’s Day this month, we’re delighted to announce our new partnership with Nyetimber: a perfect pairing, or at least we think so. What could be better than devouring one of our divine Fiona Cairns Valentine fairy cakes alongside a glass (or two) of delicious English sparkling wine?

Nyetimber Rosé is especially apt this month – the colour of love – so pick up your cakes to go with it at Waitrose, Dunnes, Harrods, Selfridges or independent farm shops and delis nationwide.

If it’s still a bit chilly outside, remember to bask in the flames of the newly arrived Year of the Dragon, and warm up by getting the oven on! There’s no better way to spend your extra day this month than baking for those you love. Ladies might even take the once-in-four-year opportunity that 29 February provides – according to Irish tradition – to propose to that special someone, too.
