It’s never too early to begin planning for Valentine’s Day and, with little more than two weeks to go, it’s smart to get your head start now! Since there are plenty of special Texas getaways, we rounded up a few favorites including a tour of Hill Country wineries and an elegant 3-course dinner on a floating river barge. Find an adventure for you and your sweetie below!
Wine Lovers Celebration
With love in the air and wine in your glass, explore over 40 wineries in the beautiful Texas Hill Country with your sweetie! Texas Hill Country Wineries is offering self-guided digital passports so wine lovers can taste up to four wineries per day over the course of the event (January 31 through February 25). Sip and see the best of Texas and don’t miss out on the exclusive discounts on bottle purchases, too! Passport tickets are $100 for a pair or $65 for individuals.
Boudro’s River Barge Dining
If your Valentine is a history buff, a weekend getaway to the historic city of San Antonio is a must. After you pay a visit to the Alamo, pull out all the stops for your sweetie at one of the city’s most iconic Riverwalk restaurants, Boudro’s, where you can even dine on the river! With river barge dining, you’ll enjoy a 3-course dinner, hear all the interesting facts about the Alamo City while being wined and dined and feel like Fiesta royalty waving at all the folks walking up and down the river.
The Goodtaste Gulf Coast Getaway
A trip to the coast doesn’t necessarily mean you have to make it to the beach! Just the sound of the waves on the ocean is a piece of paradise itself, so we’re sharing some of our favorite places to eat, sleep and play on the Texas coast.
The Houstonian Hotel, Club & Spa
Whisk your sweetheart away for a special Valentine’s Day to remember on February 14 or plan a complete weekend of indulgence! The Houstonian is offering a special package for couples that includes a bottle of prosecco and a heart-shaped box of chocolates upon arrival, a leisurely late check out, and more. You can even add on a dozen red roses designed by Sage ‘n’ Bloom, rose petal turndown service, and more. Don’t forget to book a visit to the Trellis Spa at the Houstonian for one of their services, soaking pool cabanas, and more.
Big Bend National Park
Take a deep breath of pure Texas outdoors with a getaway to one of the state’s national parks. Head out for a day of hiking, then enjoy some of the best stargazing in North America. Before setting off on your road trip, check out our bucket list dining list, too!
