I know it sounds clichéd: guy meets girl, guy decides he likes girl, guy decides to whisk girl away for an über romantic weekend in - surprise!! - wine country.

Ok, so jetting off to wine country isn't the most original idea to occur to love-struck gents (and lasses) with romance on the brain.

Now that we've got that out there, I'd like to remind everyone of two very important supporting pieces of information: a) wine country, no matter how many times you've been, is simply one of the most romantic places on earth, and b) there are about as many romantic spots and activities in wine country as there are wineries in Napa Valley (a lot!), which means you can make your trip - and your romance - seem new every time you go.

It's two weeks away.  The media is bombarding you with incentives to buy cards, flowers, chocolate, and jewelry everywhere you look and listen.  Roses and chocolate are a bit cliche especially if you been at this for awhile. But, considering the economy, buying jewelry is probably not too high up on your list either.

Break from tradition a bit this year and plan a day trip to wine country with the goal in mind to attend an event . Wine regions across California and in Virginia, Oregon offer a variety of activities that are both romantic and fun on Valentine's Day.

Below are just a few of the events many wineries and restaurants are hosting. Please go to our Events Calendar for other ideas! Happy romance making....
