Valentine's Day in San Luis Obispo Ideas

Posted by San Luis Obispo Mom on Wednesday, February 4, 2026 Under: Romantic

For Valentine's Day, there are many different restaurants that serve special menus in San Luis Obispo County. There's also wine tasting as an option at many wineries. For Valentine's Day, here are our top suggestions! Valentine's Day in San Luis Obispo County

Lunch or Dinner at Madonna Inn.
Don't forget to make reservations! The Madonna Inn has their famous pink champagne cake on their menu every day! You can get a slice from Copper Cafe or at their Steakhouse. They have two different restaurants on their property. They also have two cute gifts shops: one in the cellar area and another one upstairs, above the restaurants! View all of my blog entries about Madonna Inn.
Wine tasting in Edna Valley or Paso Robles.
If you're 21 years old and older, you can take advantage of our amazing wine tasting rooms and wineries all over San Luis Obispo County. See my top favorite wineries in the area.
Picnic at the Beach!
On the rare month that February is warm out here, a picnic at the beach is the most relaxing way to enjoy some romantic time together. San Luis Obispo County has so many amazing beaches like Pismo Beach, Grover Beach, Oceano, Cayucos, Cambria, San Simeon, Morro Bay and Los Osos! See all of my pictures and read my reviews about the beaches out here.
Soak in a Spa at Sycamore Mineral Springs
A few years ago, my husband took me to the Sycamore Avila Springs Resort & Spa in Avila area for a soak in the hot spring and it's still one of the more romantic things we did in celebration for Valentine's Day. You can get a bottle of wine at the front registration/gift shop area and they will pour the wine in plastic cups for you to safely enjoy up there. Beware that you may need to take a bit of a hike upstairs to get to your assigned tub! Read about my hot spring experiences here.
