National Prosecco Day – 13 August
National Prosecco Day, celebrated each year on 13 August, shines a spotlight on one of the world's most recognisable sparkling wines. Produced primarily in the Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia regions of north-east Italy, Prosecco is made predominantly from the Glera grape and is known for its light, fresh and fruity character. Its approachable style has helped make it a favourite for celebrations, summer gatherings and special occasions across the globe.
While Prosecco itself originates in Italy, the spirit behind National Prosecco Day is universal. It's an opportunity to celebrate life's achievements, whether they're personal milestones, business successes or simply the chance to spend time with colleagues, friends and family. Great celebrations don't have to be extravagant. Often, it's the atmosphere, the company and the food that people remember long after the event has ended.
In the workplace, taking time to recognise achievements can have a positive impact on team morale. Celebrating the completion of a successful project, welcoming a new client or marking a company anniversary helps create a culture where people feel valued. Even a simple gathering over lunch, a sharing platter or an afternoon buffet gives colleagues the chance to step away from their desks, relax and connect with one another.
Food naturally plays an important role in these occasions. Beautifully presented grazing tables, freshly prepared sandwiches, charcuterie, cheeses and seasonal salads encourage people to share, chat and enjoy the moment together. Unlike a formal sit-down meal, sharing platters create a more relaxed environment where guests can help themselves and conversations can flow naturally, making them particularly well suited to corporate hospitality and office celebrations.
Whether you're hosting clients, thanking your team or organising a summer networking event, thoughtful catering helps create a professional yet welcoming atmosphere. Offering fresh, high-quality food demonstrates attention to detail and helps ensure guests leave with a positive impression of both the event and the organisation hosting it.
Our grazing boxes, sharing platters and buffet menus are designed for exactly these occasions. Prepared fresh using quality ingredients and beautifully presented, they're ideal for workplace celebrations, client hospitality and corporate events, providing a delicious centrepiece that brings people together.
Summer provides the perfect opportunity to bring colleagues and clients together, whether it's a garden lunch, networking event or office celebration. Fresh, seasonal food enjoyed alongside a glass of Prosecco can help create a relaxed atmosphere where conversations flow naturally and lasting impressions are made.
National Prosecco Day reminds us that successful celebrations are rarely about extravagance. Bringing people together, sharing great food and taking time to recognise achievements are often the ingredients that create the most memorable occasions.
