There’s love around every corner in Greater Parkersburg. There’s love for the arts, friends, family, and of course, delicious food. Here are five ways you can treat your valentine this February in Greater Parkersburg.

1. A Romantic Getaway to the Historic Blennerhassett Hotel

Located in the heart of downtown Parkersburg, the Blennerhassett Hotel is an award-winning boutique hotel and one of the oldest in the state of West Virginia. Guests can enjoy historic charisma and timeless elegance alongside modern comfort and amenities. The hotel offers a luxury Medi-spa, an atmospheric restaurant and lounge, an exclusive Speak Easy, and more—everything a person needs for the perfect Valentine’s (or Galentine’s) getaway.

2. Relaxation at the Oasis Salt Cave

The Oasis Salt Cave in Vienna, WV, is one of the most unique experiences in the Mid-Ohio Valley. Step inside a new world, a cave where every surface is covered in literal metric tons of Himalayan Salt, and de-stress with halotherapy, a holistic healing method that uses salt to balance out inflammation. Salt cave sessions are 45 minutes long, and a perfect way to start or end a day with that special someone.

3. Dine Out at a Fantastic Local Restaurant

The Greater Parkersburg area is home to fantastic culinary gems from casual pubs to fine dining. For those looking to make their Valentine’s Day extra special, make a reservation with Huffman’s Prime Steakhouse, a newly opened fine dining experience that boasts consistently top-notch reviews. Downtown Parkersburg is also home to Wine Down on Market, a cozy wine bar perfect for romantic outings and friends alike. DaVinci’s in Williamstown, WV, is a local favorite with tasty Italian food and even tastier desserts.

On the Ohio side of the valley, the House of Wines in Marietta is a French American restaurant with fan-favorite sushi nights on Thursdays. The Unicorn Wine Guild in Belpre has 56 wine varieties to sample, and they host monthly afternoon tea events with delicious small-bite menus.

4. An Iconic Valentine’s Favorite—Chocolate

Nothing says Valentine’s Day like a box of chocolate, and there’s nothing better than a box of Holl’s Handcrafted Swiss Chocolates. Holl’s offers special Valentine’s Gifts from boxes to baskets. Be sure to try their February Truffle of the Month, a delicate tiramisu truffle made of sweet Swiss milk chocolate, cream, and a splash of espresso.

Whether you’re spending Valentine’s Day with your friends, family, or a romantic partner, everyone deserves a little treat! Greater Parkersburg offers unique and rich experiences to make the day truly special, no matter who you’re celebrating with.
