Valentine's Day gifts to remember: 10 suggestions from NowMyPlace
Giving an experience to enjoy during the holiday is a Valentine’s Day gift that will be deeply appreciated by your loved one. It’s an alternative to a material item that offers something unique and personal, capable of evoking emotions and leaving an indelible memory. Objects, in fact, have a value that may fade over time, while experiences create deeper and more lasting bonds, as they are linked to special moments spent together. Therefore, if you are looking for original Valentine’s Day gift ideas, this list offers some interesting proposals. Let’s take a look.
1. A horseback ride for two
A horseback ride at sunset is an exciting, as well as romantic, activity. You can gift yourselves a couple’s experience, crossing enchanting paths during a time of day full of atmosphere, when the sky is painted in golden hues. Alternatively, you can consider a horseback ride in the Trentino Dolomites. Two hours spent riding together in pristine nature, surrounded by mountains recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage site.
2. Wine tasting in a heated vat among the vineyards
A great idea for a couple looking for a romantic experience is wine and cake tasting in a hot-tub amidst the vineyards: pleasantly immersed in a wood-heated larch vat, you will taste the fine wines from the cellar, accompanied by desserts prepared by the chef. A truly exclusive pampering, combining a love of wine with a moment of deep relaxation.
3. Romantic picnic at a wine resort
Looking for an original gift for Valentine’s Day? For a day filled with relaxation and sweetness, you can opt for an outdoor picnic at a wine resort. Surrounded by a unique setting, lying on the grass and surrounded by vineyards, you’ll have the chance to taste delicious local products in an intimate, magical, and private environment.
4. Wine tasting in an 18th-century villa
A Valentine’s Day gift for wine lovers? A wine tasting from the Valtenesi region at a villa could be the perfect present! It’s an opportunity to discover wines from the Lake Garda area, such as Groppello, in a stunning location.
5. Winery visit and food tasting
If your sweetheart loves wine and food, the perfect Valentine’s Day gift could be a food tasting experience with lunch and winery visit. An experience that combines great food, excellent wines, and the unique atmosphere of Garda’s wineries.
6. Speedboat tour to Punta San Vigilio and Garda
Does a boat trip seem like a romantic and original idea for a Valentine’s gift? Lake Garda offers many luxury speedboat tours with scenic routes and beautiful villages to explore. Among the many options, we recommend a boat trip from Sirmione to Punta San Vigilio and Garda. A private driver will guide you through picturesque views, crystal-clear waters, and breathtaking landscapes, ending with a bottle of wine and fresh fruit, to enjoy with your preferred music in the background.
7. Extra virgin olive oil tasting
For food lovers, you can gift an extra virgin olive oil tasting in a villa. Perfect for those who appreciate culinary excellence and want to discover the secrets of this precious product.

Want to pair one of your Valentine’s Day gestures with an unforgettable gift? Try a private photoshoot in Gardone Riviera. A professional photographer will capture your romantic moments and emotions in a dreamlike location, creating memories that will last forever. This private photoshoot is also available in Lazise, Riva del Garda, Sirmione, Desenzano and Borghetto sul Mincio.
9. Boat excursion on Lake Garda
A private boat tour of the Gulf of Salò and Sirmione, admiring two enchanting and renowned locations on the Benaco, is a truly special Valentine’s Day gift. You’ll navigate through iconic spots on the lake, rocked by its calm waters, in an intimate and romantic atmosphere. Magical places that have inspired famous writers and poets, including Catullus, Carducci, Ezra Pound, and James Joyce.
