While we recommend making your significant other feel special everyday of the year, Valentine's Day is your chance to go all-out and really show your sweetheart how much they mean to you. Whether your partner prefers wine, chocolate, flowers or a special dinner, there are plenty of great options throughout Chautauqua County that they are sure to fall head over heels for.
Sweets
If you ask us, chocolate is a gift that everyone loves to receive. While most people would appreciate chocolate of any kind, there is just something extra special about chocolate and other sweet treats from local shops. Chautauqua County is home to a few candy shops that are full of treats that perfect for your sweetheart's sweet tooth.
Since 1942, Webb's Candies has been known for making chocolates to perfection. All candies are made using copper kettles, wooden paddles, and marble slabs. To this day, all of their chocolates are dipped and packed by hand. With their variety of gift boxes and option to pick-your-own, you will be sure to find something sweet for the one you love. Choose from favorites like Goat Milk Fudge, regional specialty Sponge Candy, Gourmet Pretzels, Pecan Frogs, Sea Salt Caramels, and many more fine candies.
Peterson's Candies has been a community staple since 1931. When visiting their store you can find both year-round favorites and seasonal specials, all made from scratch. Check out their Facebook page to see their most current list of goodies.
Wine
Does your sweetie enjoy a nice glass of wine? Another great Valentine's Day gift idea for your partner is a bottle of wine from one (or more) of the wineries in Chautauqua County that are part of Lake Erie Wine Country. Is your other half a wine and chocolate kind of person? You are in luck! Johnson Estate Winery has created giftboxes with wines that pair perfectly with the type of chocolate your Valentine loves and other combinations. Want to extend the celebration? Indulge in Lake Erie Wine Country's month long Wine and Chocolate event.
