Spend a Mild & Romantic Valentine’s Day in Orlando
Lovers’ Day 2020 is just around the corner and this is one “holiday” you shouldn’t miss if you want to impress the one you love. Orlando is the theme park capital of the world, sure, but it’s not without some romance as well. Here are a few ideas of what you can do with your valentine this V-Day 2020 which falls on a Friday this year so you can make it a weekend of love in beautiful Central Florida.
Valentine’s Concert at Leu Gardens
Experience a very special Valentine’s Concert featuring music from Dave Capp Project, Slickwood, and Mud Rooster Blues at beautiful Leu Gardens near downtown Orlando. Bring your own dinner picnic (you can make it in your villa’s fully equipped kitchen or pick it up on your way to the show) with your favorite foods and beverages (alcohol is permitted), and bring seating (chairs or blankets) to thoroughly enjoy this fantastic outdoor concert. Remember, even if it’s warm in the afternoon, temps can drop and get chilly or downright cold so be to bring layers of clothing as well. Friday, February 14 from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Hellenic Fun at Taverna Opa
Even if your figure is less than Greek, you and your funny valentine can enjoy a delicious meal at Taverna Opa with the restaurant’s 3-course Valentine’s Day menu ($85 per couple) which features delightful favorites from the land and sea. Enjoy their homemade hummus and flaming saganaki as appetizers, a 22 oz. porterhouse and 7 oz. lobster tail. Yum! Then indulge in sweet loukoumades. Who needs chocolate when you have loukoumades? At 7 p.m., the dancing starts! 9101 International Drive, Orlando 32819, not too far from your luxury vacation villa. There are also numerous other restaurants on International Drive that offer Valentine’s dinner specials.
BBD Concert at Mardi Gras at Universal Studios
The annual Mardi Gras celebration at Universal Studio starts on the first of February this year and has a spectacular lineup of musical guests. It just so happens that on Saturday, February 15, the star of the show is Bell Biv Devoe! Take your sweetie pie and jam to fun early 90s R&B, or relive a musical memory from your youth.
Wine & Valentine’s 2020
Celebrate this Valentine’s Day at Lakeridge Winery with their “Lakeridge After Hours Wine & Valentines.” It’s a special after-hours event in the Wine & Cheese Bar with live music by Joe Hand. Enjoy your favorite Lakeridge wines by the glass and a selection of domestic and import beers, as well as delicious cheese plates. Need more than cheese, the Café Rogue Express food truck on hand for those with a bigger appetite. Top the night off with Trivia Fun with the Lake Rising Podcast Crew. Tickets are $10 and include a free wine flute. You must purchase tickets online. 21 and older. Friday, February 14 from 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m.
When your day of romance is over, head home to your Orlando luxury vacation villa for a good night’s sleep. Pamper yourselves by hiring a chef to prepare you a romantic repast in your own kitchen or a therapist for a soothing in-home couple’s massage. The options are unlimited.
