Lifestyle
EXPERIENCES FROM
HOME
4/8
Experiences related to the world of art, culture, gastronomy or the lifestyle. An agenda full of plans to enjoy and make each day, be different and special.
01
CHEF
AT
HOME
Platforms such as ‘Take a Chef’ offer the possibility of converting your home into a restaurant with a home chef. They work with international chefs and provide their services in different countries, such as Spain, Portugal, France, the United Kingdom and the USA. The chef arrives between one and two hours before the start time to create the agreed upon menu.
02
WINE
TASTING
Enjoy a wine sommelier at home for tastings, workshops and paired lunches or dinners. Websites like ‘Taca de Vi’ invite you to taste unique labels with a Spanish DO; or the Italian Ciacci Piccolomini, from Piedmont and Veneto to Sicily, and more. For California wine lovers, the ‘Napa Valley’ blog offers wine experiences. You only have to choose a winery experience, book the wine and join the sommelier at the scheduled time for the tasting.
03
MEETING
ART
There are more than 2,000 collections offering online tours through Google Arts and Culture. Among them are: The Louvre, with its collection spanning fourteen centuries; the Rijksmuseum, home to Dutch Golden Age pieces by Rembrandt, Vermeer and more; the British Museum with pieces from over 2,000 years of history; and the Guggenheim Bilbao, for post-war European and American painting and sculpture.
04
FLOWERS
TO
LOVE
December is the month of celebrations and extra decoration, and flowers are always a wonderful option. You can buy fresh flowers and create arrangements at home, through accounts like @ ohflor.store or @kittengraysonflowers who just launched a system for direct delivery of seasonal flowers from the fields to your home.
05
HEALTH
IN
MIND
The ideal is to create an atmosphere that evokes relaxation. Search Spotify for one of those wonderful playlists of chillout, classical or eastern music and light a candle— but not just any candle. To forget about everything going on outside your bathroom, light one of the Massimo Dutti Scents Collection candles and get swept away in an intense yet relaxing atmosphere.
