Think Outside the (heart-shaped) Box This Year

05 Feb Think Outside the (heart-shaped) Box This Year

When you think of Valentine’s Day, you think of roses, jewelry, and going out to a nice dinner. If you don’t feel like putting up with the crowds and trying to find a restaurant that isn’t booked up, maybe you need to try something new this year. Instead of making the same old dinner reservations you have in the past, get adventurous this year and try something new with your loved one!

Instead of getting your date flowers, how about painting her flowers? Show off your artsy side this year at Wine and Design! At Wine and Design, you can add a fun twist to what you’d normally expect from an art class. While you channel your inner Picasso, you can sip away on wine. You can avoid having to get all dressed up this year by just showing up, sipping and painting! Instead of ending the night with nothing more to show than a bill, you’ll have a cute momento to commemorate your evening of love!

Nothing says “I love you” quite like a romantic walk in the Brookgreen Gardens. Spend your Valentine’s Day surrounded by your loved one and the natural beauty of one of America’s premier gardens. If you’re married and want to relive the excitement of your wedding day, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Valentine’s Day you can renew your vows at The Gates in the Brookgreen Gardens. Couples who participate in Romance in the Gardens will receive a personalized certificate along with a professional photograph. Whether you just want a leisurely stroll surrounded by nature or to declare your love all over again, the Brookgreen Gardens is the perfect place to spend your day.

You can give the phrase “wine and dine” a whole new meaning at Duplin Winery in Barefoot Landing. Sip on wine sweeter than your date and take part in the Deluxe Wine Tasting. During your tasting, you can sample 10 different wines on the tasting sheet while you snack away on gourmet crackers and dip. At the end of your sampling, you and your date can both pick your favorite wine to enjoy a glass of while you unwind and enjoy each other’s company.

Take your Valentine’s Day plans up a literally up a level with a ride on the infamous Myrtle Beach SkyWheel. From 190 feet up in the air, you can enjoy all the views the Atlantic Ocean and downtown Myrtle Beach has to offer. A romantic ride on the SkyWheel is the perfect place to snap a cute couple selfie. VIP gondolas are available for those who are wanting to spend some extra special time in the air. You can even go the extra mile and get their Valentine’s Day package which includes flower, candies, and more goodies that’ll definitely earn you some points.

Spice up your plans this year and forgo the dinner reservations. Surprise your sweetie with your painting skills or sip away the night with a wine tasting or enjoy a romantic gondola ride on the Boardwalk. Here in Myrtle Beach, your options to celebrate are seemingly endless. No matter what you do this Valentine’s Day, as long as you’re spending it with the one you love it’ll be a night to remember.
