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, sweet treats, flowers or a special dinner, there are plenty of great options throughout Chautauqua County that they are sure to fall head over heels for.
Sweet Treats
If you ask us, chocolates and desserts are gifts that everyone loves to receive. While most people would appreciate chocolate of any kind, there is just something extra special when they are made in local shops. Chautauqua County is home to a few candy shops and bakeries 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. Visit their website for the most current list of goodies.
Buttercream Babe Bakery in Westfield specializes in small batch, made from scratch cupcakes, cookies and more. Stop in and see the latest flavors of the week or check out their social media and website to place an online order. Either way, your other half will no doubt be delighted.
Treat your significant other to something extra indulgent this Valentine's Day with a handcrafted pie from PersNikkity Pies in Falconer. Choose from over a dozen flavors of both traditional pies and cold pies available as mini pies, full size pies and galettes. Also available from their bakery are farmhouse cookies, brownies and their famous cinnamon rolls.
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!
