Exciting new wine pairing menu at Creations Wine

The Creations Wine team have come up with yet another exciting and truly unique 6-course taste adventure.

Health ~ Breathe yourself healthy & happy

Deep breathing is one of the best and quickest ways to lower stress, heart rate and blood pressure. This is because when you breathe deeply, it sends a message to your brain that everything is okay around you. Your fight or flight responses caused by random stress factors go silent and causes you to calm down and relax. Read the list of some of the health benefits of deep breathing.

Eat yourself ravishing & radiant
