From romantic resorts to adventures that will set hearts aflutter to fantastic wine and food that will awake the senses, Napa Valley <\/a>is the perfect spot to write your own love story.<\/p>\r\n

Of course, Cupid isn\u2019t out in full force right now due to COVID-19, which definitely puts a damper on stolen kisses thanks to constant mask-wearing, but love birds can still find magic in this enchanting Northern California region; it just involves a little flexibility with the existing guidelines. (More on that below). Even if you don\u2019t plan that big Napa rendezvous with your Valentine this month, you can still use this guide to plan another romantic getaway, whatever time of year, because Napa Valley\u2019s weather makes it easy to visit each and every month. After all, after waiting patiently to visit Napa Valley again, you\u2019ll certainly deserve it.<\/p>\r\n

COVID-19 Note: Napa Valley is again welcoming visitors! Please note that existing regulations limit some activities, like wine tasting and in-person dining, to outdoors only. Be sure to confirm hours and guidelines with each of these businesses before visiting, and check out our pandemic news page for further information.<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\r\n

Where to Stay<\/h2>\r\n

Carneros Resort and Spa<\/a><\/h3>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”45718″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” el_class=”text-width” link=”https:\/\/carnerosresort.com\/?utm_source=wcm&utm_medium=napavalley.com&utm_campaign=content”][vc_column_text]\r\n

A stay at this luxurious resort in the heart of Wine Country should come with a warning: You\u2019ll find it almost impossible to pull yourself away from the picturesque estate, which for a romantic weekend is perhaps actually perfect. Truly, there\u2019s no need to leave as the resort has everything one could possibly want: charming secluded cottages with private front porches and backyard gardens, fire pits and fireplaces, and outdoor soaking tubs; two pools with hot tubs (one which sits atop a hill with vineyard views and is adults-only); a full-service spa exclusive to guests; and three farm-to-table dining experiences. If you do manage to venture away from the grounds, you\u2019ll find plenty of world-renowned wineries nearby, as well as outdoor activities, like golf, horseback riding, hiking, and kayaking. But if you decide to enjoy breakfast in bed before making your way to a chaise lounge for the day (interrupted only by your couples massage), no one will judge you.<\/p>\r\n

If you\u2019d prefer to cruise around at your own speed, you can also rent a hybrid, e-bike, or road bike and enjoy the feel of the wind in your hair as you hit the open road.<\/p>\r\n

Napa Valley Aloft balloon rides fly above the valley floor with panoramic views of Mt. St. Helena, the Mayacamas Mountains, and, if the weather cooperates, glimpses of the San Francisco skyline and the Sierras. After you safely land, you\u2019ll enjoy a post-flight Champagne brunch where you can toast to more adventures to come. Most flights have around 8 to 12 passengers, but if you\u2019re celebrating a special occasion and want to splurge, you can reserve a basket built for two.<\/p>\r\n

There\u2019s just something extra romantic about sipping wine with your loved one at a historic winery in Napa, especially if said winery offers nostalgic details, sensory gardens, fruit trees, and sweeping views. Constructed in 1890, the Manor House on the estate is the ultimate place for Cupid\u2019s arrow to strike. With its original stonework, English Renaissance style, and romantic history as a summer retreat for one-time owners, the Chase family, this picturesque building makes for an idyllic place to sample a mixture of the winery\u2019s current release and library wines.<\/p>\r\n

HALL Winery in St. Helena pairs world-class wine with intriguing art for an experience unlike any others you\u2019ll find in Wine Country. As you roam the lush 33-acre property, you\u2019ll come across over 35 impressive pieces of contemporary art, including the famous metal \u201cBunny Foo-Foo\u201d sculpture at the entrance. You can wander the grounds alone and steal kisses in the Olive Grove, but if you\u2019d like a more in-depth look at the wine and the art, reserve the Wine and Art Exploration experience where you\u2019ll be guided through the collection while sipping on some of HALL\u2019s best wines.<\/p>\r\n
