What Are Some Ideas For Valentine’s Day Celebrations 2021?!
January is drawing near and with February quickly approaching, most of us associate the second month of the year with pink, red, hearts, candy, flowers, and cupid! That’s right.. it’s almost Valentine’s Day and this year CAN be just as fun as all of the ones of the past. Sure, you may not be able to go sit in a restaurant or theater and enjoy the company of your date in public, BUT there are still so many excellent options!
Take advantage of the restrictions this year and get creative as you come up with some unique ideas, making this February 14th one of the best, ever!
SO, WHAT ARE SOME IDEAS FOR VALENTINE’S DAY CELEBRATIONS 2021??
Well, first thing’s first….
We have HUGE news!
We are beyond-honored to be listed in Oprah’s Online Magazine as one of her suggestions for '35 Unique Valentine's Day Date Ideas That Go Way Beyond Dinner and a Movie'
Listed at #19, you can see that the legend herself has an article that suggests to:
"Take a Painting Class! No art skills to speak of? No matter—studies show that when couples do activities, like take a painting class together, their bodies release more oxytocin. You can look for studios like... Pinot's Palette in your area…"
We applaud this recommendation and not because we’re slightly biased. Honestly, we can’t think of much else that combines art and creativity, wine, music, relaxation, and bonding with loved ones quite like a painting class!
Whether you’re reconnecting with friends, family, or your sweetheart in-person at one of our studio classes, or working from the location of your choice, virtually, you’re sure to have a great time! You’ll be able to relax and unwind from a long day, as you enjoy some wine and snacks, and then have a great sense of self-confidence and accomplishment after you make your masterpiece!
The best part is you’re hand-making a one-of-a-kind souvenir to always remember the fun time you had AND to display in your home to always treasure!
As always, here at Pinot’s Palette, we’re offering some awesome classes, and actually in a positive look at the situation, we’re offering MORE options than any other Valentine’s Day of the past! From in-person classes (like we have always done), to Live Virtual Classes, to Take-Home Paint Kits, we’ve got something for everyone!
You can view our full calendar/schedule at the bottom of the page (link), but some of the upcoming events that we’re most excited about include Date Night (2-canvas) Paintings, Galentine’s Day Celebrations, Family Days, and of course, lots of awesome romantic-themed artwork!

— Relax With A Movie Marathon
One movie? That's just a regular Friday night. Giving yourself permission to watch as many as you want? That's a proper date night. Start with Baz Luhrmann's Romeo & Juliet or embark on a trilogy like the Matrix or Before Sunrise and enjoy a luxuriously lazy evening on the sofa. Of course, you are going to need popcorn and candy; splurge on the good stuff.

— Have a Cook-Off
If you prefer to stay home, consider a fun and interactive cooking experience instead of ordering takeout. Try a "cook off" where you each make a dish, then fill out score cards to determine whose skills are superior. You can also bring the show 'Chopped' into your own kitchen -- Give each other a mystery basket of ingredients, and see what you can come up with.

— Relax For A Spa Day
If a spa weekend isn't in the cards, pamper yourselves at home. Trade off giving each other massages with stress-relieving oil, take a long bubble bath, and if you haven't gotten, ahem, distracted yet, chill out with hydrating face masks. One way or another, you'll end the day with a serious Valentine's Day glow.

— Try an Escape Room
Challenges like escape rooms require trust, support, and teamwork so it's perfect for a first date OR a 30 year married couple. Though your local spot may be closed right now, there are several virtual options that are just as fun as the real deal: Puzzle Break (*well-known for its in-person escape rooms) has created an equally tricky virtual challenge, called The Grimm Escape, which takes places in an enchanted forest accessible via Zoom.
Pennsylvania-based company 'Expedition Escape!' offers 'Bank Heist', in which you'll be part of a crime syndicate that's on a mission to unlock a safe (just make sure to have a calculator handy).
Lastly, 'Mystery Escape Room' has five different adventures(*from one inspired by Nancy Drew to another based on Sherlock Holmes) all of which come with a live guide and can accommodate groups of four to eight so it's perfect for a double date!
