Napa Valley, California

Although probably best-known as a hot spot for wine lovers, Napa Valley is a destination for lovers of all kinds. It’s a popular vacation destination thanks to its stunning views from anywhere in the area, as well as the long list of ways you can pamper yourself during your stay. A number of resorts offer fine dining, golfing, spa treatments, and so much more. 

Or, for a truly memorable V-Day you’re guaranteed to NEVER forget, consider taking a balloon ride over Napa Valley. Or go for a ride on the Napa Valley Wine Train and enjoy fine wine and dining with a breathtaking backdrop. Even in February, the weather is mild enough to enjoy either one.
