Whether you’re planning a romantic retreat with your partner, rounding up your best friends for a Galentine’s getaway, or simply treating yourself to a weekend of good food and fresh mountain air, Summit County is the place to be this February.
Here’s your guide to a love-filled, laughter-filled, chocolate-filled trip to the high country.
Wine Flights + Mountain Vibes
Start with a visit to Saved by the Wine in Dillon. A cozy, women-owned wine bar serving up Valentine’s-themed wine flights and decadent desserts. Whether you’re celebrating with your sweetheart or toasting with your crew, this is the perfect spot to sip, snack, and soak in the views.
Paint Your Mate (or Just Your Favorite Friend)
Breck Create’s Paint Your Mate event on February 14 is quirky, creative, and full of personality. Bring a date, a friend, or your inner artist; no experience required. You’ll walk away with a masterpiece and some hilarious memories.
Dinner Out or Mountain Picnic In
Grab a reservation (while you still can!) at Aurum or The Carlin in Breckenridge for an elevated Valentine’s dinner. Both offer a beautiful setting and locally inspired menus that are perfect for celebrating love or friendship.
Want something more laid-back? Order a charcuterie box from The Nashing Platter, pack a picnic, and head out for a snowshoe adventure or winter hike. A thermos of something warm and a snowy overlook makes for a pretty unforgettable Galentine’s hang.
Gifts for Your Person or Your People
Pick up handcrafted jewelry or local gifts at DonLo Mercantile in Breck. It’s an ideal stop for finding a meaningful gift that supports a local maker. Bonus points for a box of Christopher Elbow chocolates to sweeten the deal.
Make It Yours
Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be all roses and prix-fixe menus. Whether you’re cozied up with your partner, dancing with your friends, or enjoying some solo self-care in the mountains, Summit County offers the perfect mix of relaxation and celebration.
Book the cabin. Grab the chocolate. Bring the people who make you laugh. And spend Valentine’s weekend doing something that feels like you.
