Boston Chocolate Tour – $58

Chocolate is indisputably the signature food of Valentine’s Day, with devoted beaus shelling out for boxes of the stuff each year to deliver to their beloved along with a bunch of roses. There’s nothing wrong with gifting your partner a box of chocolates if that’s what they like, but if you’d prefer something a little different, take their love of chocolate on tour!

This Boston chocolate tour is a fun and romantic Massachusetts day out for chocolate-lovers, led by an expert guide. While tours aren’t currently running, your sweet-toothed bae can look forward to this delicious experience gift as something fun to do in the future.

This delicious confectionery experience gift begins when your lucky Valentine meets the local and friendly chocolate-loving guide in the neighborhood of their choice.

As they are escorted through the historic streets of the city, they will not only learn about the beautiful history of the neighborhood, but also about fine chocolates. They will savor a variety of delicacies as they visit some of Boston’s most popular chocolate destinations as well as lesser known chocolate treasures.

Highlights of this Chocolate Tasting Experience may include a sample from a locally produced bean-to-bar chocolate maker, a cozy boutique with a large selection of imported chocolate bars, a Swiss chocolatier and more.

Goldbelly Voucher – various prices 

Okay, so maybe you’re thinking that a restaurant delivery voucher isn’t the most romantic thing you can give your partner this Valentine’s Day. But that was before you knew about their special Valentine’s Day section, right?

You can filter the selection of freshly-prepared food from gourmet restaurants by region to select the perfect treat to deliver to your partner… personally, I’m a big fan of the heart-shaped pizza, because it combines the two most essential elements of Valentine’s Day: love and carbohydrates.

There’s a huge selection of delicious, romantic food that you can have shipped to your partner, or you can simply opt for the delivery voucher so that they can choose at their leisure. Either way, the gift of a full belly can’t be beat on any day of the year, let alone Valentine’s Day!

Once the balloon is inflated, you and the rest of the passengers will climb into the basket while your pilot continues to heat up the air.

As you float in the balloon, you will travel at wind speed for approximately one hour. You may fly quietly over Lake Oswego or glide gently down Willmette Valley and across the vineyards depending on the direction of the winds. Enjoy breathtaking views only able to be seen from the sky.

The most exciting part of this hot air ballooning experience is seeing the Pacific Northwest from a whole new perspective! Towards the end of your journey, the balloon will begin to descend back down to earth where your ride concludes with a wonderful sparkling champagne ceremony.
