Valentine’s Celebrations last all Month
Romance is on the rise this season with plenty of places to pique all of its unexpected expressions. Here is a line up of packages to satisfy every appetite – from quick trysts to proper proposals to romance remedies made to order.
Solage Calistoga, Calistoga, CA
Auberge Resorts puts the wine, the cuisine, and the spa immersion at the center of romance through the month of February with the Rekindle the Romance package. Solage, located in the mountains of northern California’s wine country some 90 minutes from San Francisco, is all about the water – and the mud. The geothermal springs provide blissful sybaritic complements to a relaxing romantic weekend and the rich volcanic earth becomes a couples’ indulgence in purification and intimacy with Solage’s legendary “Mud Slide” experience. The property is an easy bike ride to the town of Calistoga (bikes provided) and upon return from an active day of exploring the waters, the wonders and each other, dining in the resort’s Michelin-starred Solbar creates the perfect prelude the rest of the evening. Rates at Solage usually start at $350 per night but for the same rate during Valentine’s month, the package includes:
- A one-night stay in a Vega Studio, with room upgrade on check-in
- Romantic dinner for two at Solbar
- Complimentary access to the geothermal soaking pools at Solage Spa
