Romantic Dinner for Two

During your stay here in Winter Park you will want to take your loved one out for a romantic dinner for two.

You can also find more casual items on the menu too such as pizza and sandwiches if you prefer that.

Deno’s offers an extensive wine and beer list so you can find an adult beverage to your liking. If you two are sports fans make sure to stop by on game day in their upstairs sports bar to catch a game on TV. For an Italian fine dining experience stop in to Volario’s. This is our neighborhood upscale Italian eatery. Their pasta is handmade fresh daily giving you a top notch experience. Try out their pasta dishes including rigatoni arrabbiata, fusilli carbonara, mafalde Bolognese, and more. You will even find gluten free pasta and vegetarian dishes on the menu too. Their daily entrees also feature a massive 12 layer lasagna and t-bone steak. Regardless of where you pick for dinner make sure you place a reservation if available to ensure you snag a table on Valentine’s Day evening.

Hit the Spa

Winter Park is a resort community with a big focus on winter sports. Naturally, this means our visitors in the winter need a place to unwind their muscles.

Sleigh Ride Through the Snow

Valentine’s Day is a perfect time to visit Winter Park as the area is still in the middle of winter with snow all around you. Nothing is more romantic than cuddling together under a blanket as you enjoy a horse drawn sleigh ride through the winter tundra. One of our favorite stables to use for such as romantic outing is Dashing Thru the Snow Sleigh Rides in our neighboring town of Fraser. Your 45 minute sleigh ride will take you through secluded woods as the giant draft horses gallop along the path. The snow glistening trails are a beautiful sight to behold. After your ride has come to an end you will be able to warm up in front of a bon fire while enjoying hot cocoa. Pictures are included with the experience so you can take home some cherished memories with you.

Take a Show Shoe Tour

Another great way to spend some time with your loved one out in the snow is with a snow shoe tour. Winter Park Resort offers our Nature Snowshoe Tour that will take you and your loved one out onto the mountain and navigate the Fraser Valley. The entire trail is all downhill making it an easier venture out in the snow. You will marvel at the beauty of snowtipped trees as you take the gondola ride up to the top to start the trail. All you need are winter boots or shoes to keep your feet warm during this romantic activity.
