Have Dinner at a Romantic Restaurant
Nothing says Valentine’s Day like dinner at a romantic restaurant with your significant other. As America’s Farm-to-Fork Capital, it’s no surprise that Sacramento has plenty of restaurants that range from more casual to sophisticated and chic. If you’re looking for something more intimate, consider making reservations at 7th Street Standard, Allora, Camden Spit & Larder, Ella Dining Room & Bar, Grange Restaurant and Bar, or Dawson’s Steakhouse to indulge in an elegant dinner. For those looking for a more casual dining experience, try Scott's on the River along the scenic Sacramento River or Prelude Kitchen & Bar downtown.

Take a Stroll Through the McKinley Park Rose Garden
With roses being a symbol of love, taking a stroll through the McKinley Park Rose Garden in East Sacramento is the perfect way to spend Valentine’s Day. Even Lady Bird and Danny confessed their feelings toward one another at the garden in the popular Sacramento-based film Lady Bird. The garden is one of Sacramento’s largest rose gardens with nearly 1,200 rose bushes. Benches throughout the rose garden make it so you can sit and admire the roses and peacefulness of the garden during your stroll.
