Indulge in a treat
Nothing says Valentine's Day like sweets for your sweet. Local bakeries and dessert shops across the region offer decadent treats perfect for sharing. Pick up a sweet treat from Dolce Vita Desserts and pair it with a glass of wine from University Wine Company.
Take a winter adventure
If you’re looking for something more active, take your Valentine to Tussey Mountain Ski & Recreation for skiing or snowboarding. A day on the slopes followed by hot cocoa at the lodge makes for a fun and cozy date night.
