1. Aromatherapy from Wine Country: Spend the afternoon rubbing, searing, and dipping! There is nothing like incorporating the unbeatable aromatherapy of wine country flavors into your kitchen.

2. Toast and Taste at a Sparkling Winery: We personally feel the magic of a perfect romantic weekend begins with a special bubbly toast. It’s easy to put your finger on an exclusive date with sparkling wineries. Select from classic California experiences like Sonoma’s J winery and Napa Valley’s Domaine Chandon. Both offer up beautiful gourmet menus and plush lounge rooms to enjoy your romantic celebration.

3. The Luxurious Green Outdoors: Get outdoors for the day together improving your golf swings at the luxurious and picture-perfect Sonoma Golf Club. By afternoon, it's time for the "Royal Treatment" in the spa at the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn. A day of golf lessons and massage sessions will certainly heat up your weekend together! Read more

4. Enchanting Wine Cave Tour: From personal experience, we just can’t get over the romantic ambiance of wine tasting in a candle lit cave. Set out to Pine Ridge Winery for an exclusive wine and cheese tasting in their enchanting Cabernet Cave. Pack a picnic lunch to enjoy afterwards in their private Estate Gardens. Does it get any more romantic than this? Read More

5. Stay, Sip, Savor & Stroll-Inclusive Towns: Locate the perfect town for an overnight escape where you two can stay, sip, savor and stroll without even getting in your car for another 24 hours. Yountville, Napa Valley offers the all inclusive wine country experience with cobblestone streets, gourmet shopping, wine tasting venues, top restaurants and beautiful views of the rolling vineyards.
