Valentine's Day in Marin County

Feel the love in the air? Yep, it's time to start planning your Valentine’s Day date. Our friends in Marin County are sharing a few tips for a romantic getaway over the Golden Gate Bridge.

Where to Stay

Tucked away in a beautiful redwood forest, the intimate Mill Valley Inn is a short walk from downtown Mill Valley. At the foot of Mount Tamalpais, it offers easy access to hiking, biking, and more. // Nestled on coastal Route 1, the Tomales Hotel is a rustic-meets-romantic choice with spacious rooms in an 1800s grande dame. Take a gentle drive out to Dillion Beach at sunset, then return to appreciate the unique amenities of downtown Tomales. // For a very different experience, San Rafael's AC Hotel is one of Marin's newest. Enjoy a day of shopping along Fourth Street, then have rooftop drinks and bites at Above Fifth with a bird’s-eye view of downtown. Plan your stay with the hotel’s romantic getaway package through February 29th. 

Food to Set the Mood

Take a cue from the amorous French and Italians by dining at one of Marin's romantic international restaurants. Serving traditional Tuscan cuisine, Il Davide in San Rafael is one of Marin's top Italian eateries. // French is the language of love at Left Bank Brasserie in Larkspur and Tiburon sister restaurant Petite Left Bank. Celebrate with a Valentine's Day–inspired four-course prix-fixe menu designed to awaken your inner romantic.

Activities for Lovebirds

Leave your heart in San Francisco and board a schooner in Sausalito! When you set sail on the Bay with the Schooner Freda B you can celebrate your love as the sun sets over the iconic Golden Gate Bridge and SF's glittering skyline. // Or, from Tiburon, board the luxury vessel Tamalpais for a two-hour cruise where you'll sip sparkling wine amid the beautiful evening light.
