INSPIRATION TO BOOK A DREAM GETAWAY

Whoops!  It's Valentine's weekend and you didn't make plans weeks ago?  It's ok, we completely understand. Your SO on the other hand, maybe not so much. Don't panic we've got you covered! 

Many wineries are offering special Valentine's themed tastings this weekend. We have culled through all the options and have narrowed down the absolute best of the best for you. Now all you have to do is book your spot and then whisk that special someone away for a fun filled wine country experience. 

Last minute dinner reservations might be more challenging you might consider an indulgent lunch, a luxurious picnic enjoyed al fresco, or one of our favorite walk-in only destinations, Gott's Roadside.  If you are set on going out for dinner and find yourself in a pickle for reservations, try sitting at the bar. Bar seats are often walk-in only and squeezing in a spot for two is definitely easier than a table for six.  Some of my most memorable dining experiences have been at the bar seats at wine country's most iconic restaurants. Better yet, if you booked a room order room service and savor a romantic night in.

When planning last minute, the key is to be flexible and embrace spontaneity. Not having a jammed packed itinerary will let you enjoy the freedom of a "no plans" weekend. Stoll the local shops, scout out some gorgeous hiking trails, or enjoy an afternoon poolside.  Grab coffee and snap a super cute selfie in front of the "I Love U" wall at Station in St. Helena.  However you spend your weekend, the most important thing is simply spending time with your valentine.
