Westport Romance: Valentine's Day Date Ideas
Westport, with its charming downtown, picturesque waterfront, and elegant dining options, offers the perfect backdrop for a romantic Valentine's Day. Whether you're looking for a cozy night in or a more adventurous outing, here are a few ideas to inspire your special day:
For the Foodies:
Indulge in a romantic dinner: Many Westport restaurants offer special Valentine's Day menus with prix fixe options and decadent dishes. Make reservations in advance at some of the town's finest establishments like La Plage, Gabriele’s of Westport, or Nomade.
Wine tasting adventure: Westport is home to several excellent wine shops, we love The Grapevine. Consider a private tasting experience for two, or explore the local vineyards in nearby regions.
Cozy up at a fireside dinner: Many restaurants with fireplaces offer an intimate and romantic atmosphere. Consider making a reservation at a restaurant known for its cozy ambiance. We love The Spotted Horse Tavern, Little Barn, and The Tavern at Graybarns just to name a few.
For the Adventurous:
Ice skating at an outdoor rink: If the weather permits, enjoy a romantic ice skating session at an outdoor rink. We love the WPAL Rink at Longshore.
Snowshoeing or cross-country skiing: If there's snow on the ground, explore the scenic trails at Sherwood Island State Park or nearby nature preserves. Check out the top 10 places to snowshoe in CT here.
For the Cozy Couple:
Movie night at home: Order takeout from a local favorite like Kawa Ni, rent a classic romantic comedy, and cuddle up on the couch.
Spa day for two: Relax and rejuvenate with couples massages or other pampering treatments at a local spa like The Spa at Delamar.
Create a romantic evening at home: Cook a delicious meal together, light some candles, and enjoy a bottle of wine by the fireplace.
Don't Forget:
Check for special Valentine's Day events: Many local businesses, from flower shops to boutiques, often offer special promotions and events for the holiday.
Make reservations in advance: Popular restaurants and spas tend to book up quickly on Valentine's Day.
With Love,
Lynne and Jake
