Loveland businesses cater to sweethearts
Valentine-themed events range from elaborate to simple
By Craig Young
  Reporter-Herald Staff Writer
LOVELAND -- Indelibly marked as the Sweetheart City, Loveland carries some pretty high expectations when Valentine's Day rolls around. So local businesses are doing their part to make sure that the city doesn't disappoint.

From a two-day romantic getaway to a quick, fun dinner at a fast-food restaurant, local businesses are offering options to sweethearts. In case you're still scrambling for a fun Valentine's Day idea, here's a sampling of local offerings:

My Big Date
 Some people in Loveland are tired of the sweetheart theme, said Heidi Kerr-Schlaefer, "mayor" of the travel and festival website HeidiTown.com. "But I say, you know what, you're Love-land; embrace it and run with it."

Kerr-Schlaefer, a Loveland resident who promotes travel across the state, is partnering with two other Loveland businesswomen to sell Valentine's weekend packages featuring local food and drink.

*a post originally from HeidiTown.com, by Heidi Kerr-Schlaefer

Valentine’s Day is two weeks away and I’ve got the perfect outing for you and your honey – especially if you like beer and food.

Valentine’s Day in Loveland, My Big Date, lets participants experience Loveland, Colorado’s coffee, brewery, distillery and foodie scene. The Brewery & Spirits Tour package sold out quickly, and there are only seats left on our Brunch & Brew Tour. I am one of your My Big Date hosts and I guarantee that it’s like nothing else you have ever experienced.

You and your mate will board the NOCO Short Bus Tours bus at The Promenade Shops at Centerra in East Loveland. The bus will transport you to beautiful downtown Loveland where you will start your morning with a coffee tasting at Loco Artisan Coffeehouse. Owner, Tom Helm, is pairing three of his handcrafted, locally roasted coffees with a savory treat for our guests.

The next stop is Loveland Aleworks where you’ll be greeted with one of Aleworks’ famous beermosas. Next up is a four-course brunch that has been expertly paired with four different beers. Loveland catering company, Taste, worked with Aleworks to create these unique brunch items.

1 Comment

 
Picture
The 3 creators of "My Big Date Night" have received a number of questions about the Valentine's packages. We thought we'd share some info with you...

If you are curious about dates, the packages are available for 4 different days/nights. You can enjoy a full day/night in Loveland over Valentine's weekend, OR the following weekend! (14-15, 21-22)

As for the hotel stays, each hotel package is for 1 night in the hotel of your choice. You can book 2 packages for 2 nights.  (ex: Friday take a brewery tour and Saturday take a distillery tour).  Each package is booked separately.

Regarding hotel arrangements, everything you need will be on your confirmation. We'll give your name to the hotel you book. Your room, and your dinner seating will be reserved. Your name will also be on the tour reservation, and each brewery or distillery will be expecting you!

How do I pick?  Figure out what's most important to you. Is it the type of tour? Is it the day/night you have available? Or is it the hotel you stay at or dinner you have?  All options are listed out for you on each, individual package.

What's in the gift bags? TONS of free stuff!  If you like shopping, chocolate, and beer--- you'll love our gift bags!

That's it for now!
Feel free to EMAIL US with any additional questions.
Cheers!
