Shop Ventura, Save Ventura, Love Ventura.

What could be more romantic than a Virtual Valentine’s wine and cheese tasting? Cask Alehouse is hosting theirs on Saturday the 13th at 6 pm via Zoom, featuring Fritz Leon of Coastal Products (and deservedly renowned cheese aficionado) and wine expert Bryan Radford of J&L Wines. You’ll need to pick up or ship your goodies ahead of time. Details here.
Chef Kelly and team are offering an extensive Valentine’s menu, both to go and — weather permitting — to be lovingly dined upon outside. From a romantic cheese plate that serves two, to entrees (and accompaniments) ranging from seared duck breast to Florentine Steak (limited orders available) and seasoned King Salmon, it’s all delicious and local-fresh. Please call (805-641-9440) or check their website regarding pre-ordering.

Parfait Eklu produces loving delicacies — and a lovingly culled wine list. No surprise, he’s produced the perfect/Parfait Valentine’s menu. Starting with a choice of a specially selected bottle of red or white wine, and moving on through starter, entree (perhaps heart-shaped, five cheese ravioli?) and dessert (ricotta cream sprinkled with pear pieces sandwiched between soft hazelnut cookies and dusted with powdered sugar?)… love on a plate. Pre-order and pick-up on Saturday, February 13th from 5 am to 8pm.

Yes, chocolates are a Valentine’s mainstay, but Ventura’s chocolatiers have never confined themselves to a (sorry) chocolate box. Top This Chocolate, in Ventura Harbor Village, is always upping the innovative. Got a nut lover? Maybe chocolates (milk, white, dark, or maybe a mix) topped with nuts ranging from roasted almonds, to pistachios, hazelnuts and honey roasted peanuts. Got Big Love? Ask about their giant red gift box. It includes a bar with your special person’s name on it.
Shana Elson is a chocolate magician. Watch her work her magic in this Visit Ventura Facebook Live.
Fancy yourself the chef? Few things more romantic than cooking for your significant other. The Ventura Meat Company is running a special on Filet Mignon for Valentine’s Day.
