Long-stem roses and heart-shaped boxes of chocolate are fine, but sharing a romantic dinner by the shores of Lake George can fill the heart and the stomach with joy. February 14 falls on a Friday this year, the start of the long President’s Day weekend. Several Lake George restaurants have created special menus for a romantic evening this Valentine’s Day. A reservation at any of these is a great way to show your affection and kick-off the long-weekend.

February 14-17, the Adirondack Winery is offering special romantic wine tastings that include wine infused mini cupcakes. Find the Winery Tasting Room on Canada Street across from Shepard Park.
