Keep reading to learn about a few of the lovely options available for you and your special someone.
As you probably know, Valentine's Day is on a Thursday this year, which means that many people will want to celebrate on the weekend before February 14th. Luckily, there are some great events happening Saturday, February 9th and Sunday, February 10th for you!
First, on Saturday, consider checking out the Valentine's Wine, Cheese & Chocolate Tasting at Cunneen-Hackett Arts Center from 1-4 p.m. The Center will be offering a number of delightful pairings of wines, cheeses, and chocolate desserts in their Grand Parlor. Couples will be serenaded by classic love songs while they enjoy these tasty treats in the warmth and ambiance of this historic location. Tickets are just $20 per person and can be purchased here.
If you'd rather go out on Sunday, then Sprout Creek Farm has you covered with their Valentine's Brunch! This promises to be one amazing meal featuring a farm-to-table, all-you-can-eat buffet. Tickets are $35 per adult and $17.50 per child; plus, three different seatings are available at 10:30, 11:30, and 12:30.

If you're the kind of person who would rather wait until the actual holiday to celebrate, then these next options are for you! Both Shadows on the Hudson and Essie's Restaurant will be hosting special Valentine's Day dinners on February 14th. For $65 per person, Shadows on the Hudson is offering a truly gourmet, 3-course meal which you can read about at their website.
