Events, Gifts and Sweetheart Pairings this Valentine's Day
Updated: Feb 7
You need not look far for Valentine's Day gift and date ideas this February. Lake Country's Scenic Sip wine trail has something for everyone.
Here are our top 5 quick gift ideas to get you started. Followed by even more tips on ways to enjoy the month of love here in Lake Country, BC.
1) A day out for Sweetheart Pairings - visit any of our six participating wineries for a wine and food pairing on Saturday 11th, or Sunday 12th. Further details below.
2) Book a date night at one of our stunning restaurants. Gray Monk Estate Winery and 50th Parallel Estate Winery have special set menus available for Valentine's Day.
3) Take advantage of some of the exceptionally sweet Valentine's deals and give the gift of wine. Both Ex Nihilo Vineyards and Intrigue Wines have bundles available.
4) Shop locally made. You can find many locally made gifts like candles, soaps, jewellery and even clothing in the Lake Country tasting rooms.
5) Gift a VIP experience. An elevated wine tasting can be booked in advance and is the perfect way to both spend quality time and make your special someone feel like a VIP. Ex Nihilo Vineyards and Peak Cellars offer VIP experiences throughout the winter.
