Valentine's Day is the perfect opportunity to celebrate love, whether you're planning a romantic date with your partner, enjoying a fun day out with friends, or making memories with the kids. The Tri-Valley offers an abundance of activities to create special moments for all. From wine tastings to outdoor adventures, here’s how to make the most of Valentine’s Day in this beautiful and vibrant area.
If you’re looking to indulge in a little romance, a wine-tasting experience in the Livermore Valley is a must. Known for its award-winning wineries, the region offers a picturesque setting to relax and savor some local wines. There’s something magical about sipping wine together while enjoying views of the rolling hills. Popular spots include Concannon Vineyard and Wente Vineyards, which offer special Valentine’s Day tasting experiences, complete with chocolate pairings or live music.
One option is the Valentine’s Romance Wine Tour, hosted by the Livermore Wine Trolley. Enjoy a sparkling wine toast, a premium wine tasting at Longevity Wines, and a delicious three-course dinner at Sons of Liberty Alehouse. There’s also an option for a special overnight stay option at Hawthorn Suites.
For those that crave something more adventurous than the typical dinner and a movie, the Tri-Valley offers plenty of outdoor options for Valentine’s Day. Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park is perfect for a scenic hike or trail run, with sweeping views and peaceful surroundings. For a more relaxed vibe, pack a romantic picnic at Donlon Point, where you can enjoy the tranquil atmosphere and breathtaking views. Shadow Cliffs Regional Recreation Area offers a picturesque setting for a lakeside picnic or leisurely stroll. Or, head to Dublin Hills for a peaceful nature walk, complete with beautiful rolling hills. Whether you’re hiking, picnicking, or simply soaking in the scenery, it’s a wonderful way to spend time outdoors with your loved one.
Treat your special someone to an unforgettable meal at one of the Tri-Valley’s top dining spots. Many restaurants have special menus for Valentine’s Day, including Sabio on Main, Emil Villa’s Hickory Pit, and Bridges Restaurant. No matter where you choose to dine, these special menus and inviting atmospheres promise to elevate your Valentine’s celebration with delicious food and unforgettable moments!
Valentine’s is about more than just love for others, it’s about self-love too! Celebrate yourself with a rejuvenating spa day. Enjoy a luxurious facial, a soothing massage, or even a manicure and pedicure at one of the Tri-Valley’s top spas, such as Timeless Wellness Clinic, Purple Orchid, and Hand & Stone. It’s the perfect opportunity to relax and recharge while giving yourself some self-love.
If you’re craving something sweet this Valentine’s Day, the Tri-Valley has plenty of spots to indulge your sweet tooth. Primrose Bakery in Pleasanton offers a wide array of delicious pastries, cakes, and cookies, perfect for gifting or enjoying on your own. For chocolate lovers, Gourmet Works is a must-visit, with an assortment of chocolates and truffles that are sure to impress.
This Valentine's Day, why not make it extra special by seeing a local live show! At the Bankhead Theater, you can see Syncopated Ladies: Live!, a groundbreaking all-female tap dance show that fuses intricate footwork, fierce femininity, and captivating storytelling. Created by EMMY Award-nominated tap dancer Chloe Arnold, this show has taken the world by storm, with viral videos boasting over 100 million views.
