10 Things to Do on Your Galentine’s Trip in Ventura

1. Sip & Shop at The Livery

Ventura’s newest unique sip and shop experience at the Livery is a great way to start your Galentine’s trip in Ventura. This stylish shopping experience pairs vintage and artisan finds with wine tastings and cocktail drinks. Grab your gals and stroll through curated local vendors while sipping on a glass of wine, and let the laughter flow as you try on outfits or hunt for the perfect home goods. 

When you’re done head across the way to Rumfish Y Vino for a California cool dinner out on the patio. 

3. Create Custom Jewelry at Brooklyn Charm

Take your friends to a unique experience in Ventura. You can design custom jewelry at Brooklyn Charm, picking from hundreds of different charms laid out in front of you. From dainty necklaces to statement pieces, you and your friends can create matching jewelry or design a necklace for each other right from the heart. Plus, every time you wear your creations, you’ll be reminded of your fun Galentine’s adventure in Ventura. 

5. Cruise the Harbor on an electric boat

Gather your squad for a scenic boat ride through the Ventura Harbor. Ventura Electric Boat Rentals and Ventura Boat Rentals both offer a fleet of electric boats. Book a few hours out on the water and pack a picnic. Bring some snacks or order a charcuterie board from Peiranos, pop a bottle of bubbly, and soak in stunning views of Ventura Harbor. Bonus: The boats are cozy and ideal for snapping Instagram-worthy photos.

And there’s plenty of fun to be had on land too. If you’re craving a full meal after snacking on the boat, head over to Brophy Bros. for dinner and try their popular clam chowder for a real taste of fresh seafood with a gorgeous view of the harbor. Or challenge your friends to a friendly game of foosball at Loose Cannon while grabbing some pizza and watching the sunset.

Don’t miss out on shopping boutique stores at the Ventura Harbor Village like Barefoot Boutique, Ventura Pottery Gallery, and more!

7. Stock Up on Gourmet Goodies at Paradise Pantry

Super cute and quaint, swing by Paradise Pantry’s market to browse an incredible selection of artisanal cheeses, gourmet chocolates, and carefully crafted local wines. Create a custom Galentine’s charcuterie board or pick up unique snacks for later. 

Because we know shopping can get you hungry, you may want to stay for lunch or dinner — Paradise Pantry has a delicious farm-to-table menu with rotating seasonal plates. 

9. Savor a Stylish Dinner at Ten Tigers or Jaguar Moon

End your day with an indulgent dinner at one of Ventura’s trendiest spots. Ten Tigers offers Asian-inspired dishes served in a sleek, modern setting (tip: sit out on the patio in front of the fireplace), while Jaguar Moon is a mezcal and tequila-forward cocktail bar and restaurant serving elevated Mexican dishes. Either choice is perfect for a relaxed, sophisticated evening with your besties to fill up on delicious food before heading out on the town.
