Things to Do for Valentine’s Day in Sonoma County
Romance is in full swing in Sonoma Wine Country with many imaginative events and activities for celebrating your loved one. Take a look at romantic resorts and hotels in Sonoma County, and browse this collection of festive activities:
Taste with the Winemaker
Join the winemaker for a fun-filled Valentine’s Day wine-and-food pairing. Then, purchase a bottle of your favorite varietal so you can enjoy it again and remember the experience. Gift the bottle to your Valentine with a floral wrapped bouquet of local blooms and your special someone will definitely feel the love. See what our local wineries have planned here.
Stroll Through the Vineyards
Many Sonoma County wineries are known just as much for their incredible wine as they are for their gorgeous properties. TakeHans Fahden Vineyards and Winery for example. A family producer of Cabernet Sauvignon, the winery is also known for the volcanic cave and Monet garden setting at the centerpiece of the property. A teahouse overlooks ponds filled with water lilies and there are mountain vineyard views. You and your special someone can taste a flight of award-winning wines while drinking-in the beautiful scenery as well.
Create an Extra Special Valentine’s Day Gift
Take one step into Fleur Sauvage Chocolates in Santa Rosa and you know you’re getting more than just a simple box of chocolates. Creations of Chef Robert “Buttercup” Nieto, the Food Network “Holiday Wars” champion and one of the top pastry chefs in America, include life-sized dark chocolate wine bottles, boxes made of chocolate and filled with gourmet truffles, and individual desserts that are sure to impress your special Valentine.
Plan a Date Over-Night
Plan something divine throughout the month of February with special romance packages offered at Sonoma County lodging properties. Deals include complimentary bottles of wine, sweet treats, and special dinner options, as well as a discount on a stay. Browse our deals here.
