The Italians know a little something about la famiglia! Today we've got a special sponsored post from one of the top wine brands in Italy - Tavernello - with some practical suggestions on taking family time to the next level.
From Volio Imports:
We all know that the easiest way to keep the family around the table is to keep the wine flowing. Good, enjoyable wine is a surefire solution to help your family ditch that TV remote. Once people are merry and bright, continue the quality family time by keeping the squad off their phones and engaged in each other — the reason for the season.
Try some of these true and tested ideas to fuel your family togetherness.
Games: Ultimate family bonding
Salad Bowl - This fun rendition of charades is an easy way to involve all your family members. With four rounds of increasing difficulty, everyone will be guessing clues while sipping and bonding.
Truth or Drink: What Up Fam Expansion Pack - This take on truth or dare means great wine, giggles, and learning something new about your family. You get to bond in a new way while enjoying your favorite wine — it’s a win-win.
Snacks and drinks: Avoid the hangry
Start the night with an aperitif to get things going, like a Classic Aperol Spritz. Aperol + Prosecco + Club soda + fresh orange. Pair with some olives, dips, or fruits.
Pinot Grigio - If you’re enjoying a Pinot Grigio, pair it with something light and fresh. This could be a tasty vegetable platter or some seafood hors d'oeuvres. How about a glass of Tavernello Pinot Grigio?!
Feeling like something a little fancier? Cranberry brie bites along with the red fruity goodness of Montepulciano will keep things simple for you, but get head nods to the chef.
Truly at a loss? Meats. Cheeses. Red Wine. Pair a vino rosso with a simple charcuterie board. Give Tavernello Vino Rosso a try.
Music: Create the vibe
Top 10 Holiday Spotify Playlists - Spotify knows what’s cooking. Find the right holiday playlist for you to help keep people in the mood to celebrate together.
Ask a family member - Involving someone else can get them excited to share their extraordinary DJ skills with the fam. People loving on your music taste is the ultimate confidence booster.
Caroling - You don’t even have to face the cold and bug the neighbors, just pick some fun holiday songs and sing along together. Take turns choosing which song to sing and see who in the family has a hidden talent.
There is nothing better than spending the holidays with the people you love most. Families work so hard to get to the same space, so take advantage of the time you have with some laughs, an open mind, and of course, good wine! Nobody will want to leave.
