This Valentine’s Day, nothing says “I love you” better than taking a romantic trip with your partner. Nowadays with the business of life, it can be hard to put down the phones, log off of work, and spend some real time with the person you care about. Nothing helps you overcome the stress of life better than a little vacation — particularly in one of the many fabulous, romantic spots California has to offer.
California is a state full of diverse geography and countless wonderful places to visit for every type of couple. This Valentine’s Day, give the Golden State a shot — and your love will be golden as well.
For the Adventurous, Outdoorsy Couple: Big Bear Mountain
Do you and your partner prefer the great outdoors over being cooped up inside? Are outdoor sports a vital part of your relationship? If so, this Valentine’s Day, consider taking a trip to Big Bear Mountain. In the winter, this is the perfect spot in California to ski or snowboard all day long with your significant other — and cuddle by the fire when the day is done.
For the Astrology Obsessed Couple: Anza-Borrego Desert State Park
Do you believe your love was written in the stars? Did you check the compatibility of your Zodiac signs before you became official? If this sounds like you and your partner, you should take a trip to one of the best stargazing spots in all of California — Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. This spot is the first International Dark Sky Community in all of California, making it a prime place for you and your loved one to connect under the stars.
For the Wine Lovers: Sonoma
Are you and your partner wine connoisseurs? Do you enjoy a full-bodied red or a nice crisp white on date night? You and your loved one need to book a trip to Sonoma. Sonoma has lovely wineries and tastings without all of the crowds in Napa Valley. West Sonoma in particular is “pinot noir heaven” if you or your partner are still obsessed with the iconic “Pinot Noir” song from Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Regardless of your wine preference, Sonoma has it all with a beautiful landscape as a backdrop to your winery adventures.
For the Couple that Wants a Little of Everything: Big Sur and Monterey
Do you and your partner often disagree about what kind of vacation you want to take? Does one of you prefer a woodsy, hiking trip while the other wants a beach or a city? If you can’t decide, go to Monterey and Big Sur this Valentine’s Day and get both. Monterey offers a beach town with beautiful restaurants and a wonderful aquarium to explore. Big Sur offers fantastic views and a gorgeous drive with the opportunity to hike and explore redwoods and waterfalls. Best of all it ensures you won’t be arguing about where to go and can just enjoy time with your loved one.
