Some say Valentines Day is a Hallmark Holiday, but it's a good excuse to be romantic and treat yourself and your loved one to something sexy (or at least gluttonous). With that in mind, we’ve planned a perfect day for you in Napa and found the best that the surrounding wine countries have to offer. So, this year, skip the teddy bear and flowers and head up to the wine country with your sweet, or commiserate in style with your pals. 

Perfect Day in Napa

Since Valentines Day is all about hearts, Ehlers Estateis a perfect place to begin as 100% of the proceeds from their wine sales go to international cardiovascular research. The setting and the winery itself are very romantic but call 48 hours in advance for the Valentine's special, Perfectly Paired, which starts with a stroll in the vineyards and barrel sample and ends with a paring of Ehlers' complex and tasty wines with hand-made confections from Woodhouse Chocolates.
