Take your appreciation for wine beyond bottles with these five luxurious finds.

From a sip-and-play staycation to a collectible — and covetable — decanter, these items and experiences are sure to add a dose of extra to the everyday:

Sweet staycation

Take a break from the everyday with a staycation at the luxurious Shangri-La Hotel Vancouver. The property is offering a Dine & Dream package for two that includes a food-tasting menu at Carlino — the hotel’s restaurant that boasts an impressive wine list — along with a stay in a luxury suite boasting city views. In addition to offering dinner and overnight accommodations, the package also includes a breakfast for two early check-in and late check out.

Haute hanger

Put your prized bottle — or bottles — front-and-centre with Mono Series wine racks from the Squamish-based company Liquid Systems. Available in 13 anodized colours, the wall-mounted displays are capable of displaying up to three bottles of your favourite wine. The aluminum racks offer a chic way to celebrate your favourite sips, all the while proving that works of art really do come in all forms.

Skin boost

Give your skin a boost with the new Caudalie Cru Anti-Aging Serum. The powerful skin product promises to provide immediate hydration thanks to hyaluronic acid, along with a firming effect from natural sugars, and a patented TET8 technology to fight signs of aging. Made from ingredients of 98 per cent natural origin, the dermatologically tested formula also features viniferine sourced from grapevine stalks — see, you knew there would be a wine tie-in here somewhere — to address dark spots.

Deluxe decanter

Savour every pour of your favourite wines with this Iskender wine decanter from the French brand Hermès. The chic crystal design, which is part of a larger collection of crystalware that includes tumblers and champagne flutes, is sure to become a treasured piece that will be enjoyed for years to come.

Perfect pairing

We all know that wine is often best enjoyed with a perfectly curated charcuterie board. This board, created by Provence Platters, is made from the ends of a French oak wine barrel decommissioned from service in either the Bordeaux or California wine regions. After four seasons of use, the barrels are transported to upstate New York where they’re disassembled and then repurposed into one of these stylish serving platters.
