A perusal of Valentine’s Day events at wineries makes it look as though Valentine’s Day can be celebrated on two or three days. Since  Valentine’s Day falls on a Tuesday, different romantic events are occurring the weekend before, the day of and the weekend after. What a great opportunity to express your love!
