Just the mention of Valentine’s Day sets romantic hearts aflutter. It’s a day to celebrate love and have fun with your partner doing things you both enjoy. For romantic foodies, what could be more sublime than an epicurean travel adventure? Here’s our A-list of Valentines getaways where you can combine your love of food, travel and each other.

Private dinner on the beach – Picture a solitary candlelit table set with fine linens, china and crystal, sitting on a gorgeous expanse of beach. Your music is the sound of the surf brought to you on the gentle sea breeze. The reflection of the moon and stars dance on the water’s surface. You wiggle your toes in the sand as the waiter serves the next course and refills your champagne flute. This ultimate foodie Valentines getaway can be arranged at many beautiful resorts in Mexico, the Caribbean, the Maldives, French Polynesia, Hawaii and more!

Up in the Air – Floating high above the earth in a hot air balloon is a magical experience to share with your sweetheart. The air is astonishingly quiet, punctuated by only deep whooshes of the gas burner as the pilot forces hot air into the huge balloon overhead. During the flight you have the perspective of a bird soaring on thermals and the 360° view of scenic landforms below is captivating. After landing, toast your love at the traditional champagne breakfast. Some particularly spectacular hot air balloon rides are over Cappadocia, Turkey; Serengeti, Tanzania; Napa, California; and Letchworth State Park, New York.

Stir things up – They say the way to a man’s heart is through is stomach, but romantic foodies also know that couples who cook together stay together! A cooking class is the perfect Valentines getaway for lovers who like to stir things up in the kitchen. You can learning by doing at Culinary Institute of America’s Saturday Kitchens cooking and baking class, or their “Food and Wine Paring 101” (California, New York or Texas). Discover the secrets of Italian comfort food at Eataly (New York and Chicago) or maybe a Barbeque Boot Camp (North Carolina) will add some spice to your relationship.

Wine down – Whether you’re an avid oenophile or don’t know a Cabernet Sauvignon from a Cabernet Blanc, winery tours and tastings are lovely romantic getaways. Winemakers and winery owners are invariably interesting and friendly folks and you’d really have to try not to learn something as you sip and sample. After your tasting, buy a bottle of your favorite vino and enjoy a romantic picnic for two in the picturesque vineyards. Some favorite international wine producing destinations are Chile, South Africa, Australia, France and Italy, but many excellent wines are also produced at U.S. wineries in California, New York and Virginia.

Breakfast in bed – Possibly the very best romantic foodie indulgence is to have your breakfast served in bed. Not just your significant other making coffee and bringing you a mug. We’re talking a complete breakfast feast: eggs benedict, decadent waffles, fresh tropical fruit, warm flakey pastries or whatever you desire. A wheeled cart stacked with silver warming domes is rolled into the suite of your 5-star resort by a white-gloved server. You clink mimosa flutes with your mate and know that it’s going to be a good day. This romantic getaway could be yours at more than 1,000 Virtuoso Best of the Best hotels and resorts worldwide.
