Your Romantic Itinerary for Valentine’s Day in the Napa Valley

The weather may be cool, but things are heating up in the Napa Valley as plans get underway for a Valentine’s Day to remember. Wine Country Inn has your guide to all things ‘love’ this Valentine’s Day with an unforgettable itinerary to spice things up for your special someone. This year, impress your other half with a day to remember.

Rise and Shine to a Gourmet Wine Country Breakfast

Wake up to a delicious complimentary breakfast when you book your stay with Wine Country Inn. Your bountiful buffet includes an assortment of seasonal fresh fruit, juices, eggs, sliced meats, cereals, freshly-baked artisanal breads, cheeses, and other local delicacies to fuel yourself for a day on the town.

Saddle up for a Horseback Ride Through the Vineyards

After breakfast, trade your slippers for boots and take the scenic drive south along the Silverado Trail to Napa Valley Trail Rides.  Book their Ultimate Romance package in advance for a horseback ride through the vineyards of Coombsville. Your private ride is followed by a tour of Shadybrook Estate Winery and a chance to meet the winemaker and savor a barrel sample from an upcoming vintage. Enjoy a private wine tasting from their Winemaker’s Overlook as you gaze out at vineyards and indulge in a variety of cheese and charcuteries finished with a custom dessert.

Book a Couple’s Spa Experience at Wine Country Inn

Even though your vineyard horseback ride is a slow and steady tour suitable for beginners, riding engages many of the body’s main muscles. Unwind and keep your muscles flexible with a personalized massage for you and your partner in the privacy of your hotel room. Enjoying a massage experience together, side-by-side, is an excellent way to spend quality time together on this special day. Our St. Helena spa hotel offers a variety of massage and spa packages to melt away tension. Visit our Massage Therapy page for more information and a complete list of available in-room options.

Test Your Palate with a Wine and Chocolate Pairing

Have your dessert early on Valentine’s Day by combining two perfectly matched indulgences at a nearby winery. Rutherford Ranch offers a wine and chocolate pairing with four seasonal varietals from their limited production wines paired with local, handmade chocolates. If you plan on dining in the lower valley, visit Artesa Vineyards or The Hess Collection Winery for their sweet pairings. Reserve Hess Collection’s Wine and Chocolate Indulgence tour in advance for a guided visit and current release wine tasting of four wines paired with artisan truffles developed by their in-house Pastry Chef. Normally a wine and chocolate pairing would be ideal as an after-dinner delight, but most of these experiences take place mid-day, so make sure to plan ahead.

Book a Table for Two

There’s something luxurious and intrinsically intimate about French food. Paired with a glass of wine and gourmet charcuterie, French food is the key to a romantic evening. From French bistros to fine dining restaurants, visit our definitive guide to Napa Valley’s French eateries to find the perfect spot for a romantic dinner.

Impress your other half by booking a reservation at one of the Napa Valley’s Michelin-starred restaurants. Visit Napa Valley Register for the 2019 directory of eateries that made the list.

Retreat to Wine Country Inn for an Intimate Hideaway

With a long day behind you, retreat back to the romantic and secluded Wine Country Inn for a relaxing night. Grab a towel and take a dip in our refreshing heated pool or adjoining whirlpool bath. Enjoy a bottle of wine overlooking the vineyards from your private patio or deck. Our guests enjoy generous accomodations and the finest quality linens. Book one of our charming cottages for a comfortable king bed, large bathroom with a soaking tub and shower, your own gas-powered fireplace, and lush garden and vineyard views.
