This is our neighborhood upscale Italian eatery. Their pasta is handmade fresh daily giving you a top notch experience. Try out their pasta dishes including rigatoni arrabbiata, fusilli carbonara, mafalde Bolognese, and more. You will even find gluten free pasta and vegetarian dishes on the menu too. Their daily entrees also feature a massive 12 layer lasagna and t-bone steak.

Sleigh Ride Through the Snow
Valentine’s Day is a perfect time to visit Winter Park as the area is still in the middle of winter with snow all around you. Nothing is more romantic than cuddling together under a blanket as you enjoy a horse drawn sleigh ride through the winter tundra. One of our favorite stables to use for such as romantic outing is Dashing Thru the Snow Sleigh Rides in our neighboring town of Fraser. Your 45 minute sleigh ride will take you through secluded woods as the giant draft horses gallop along the path. The snow glistening trails are a beautiful sight to behold. After your ride has come to an end you will be able to warm up in front of a bon fire while enjoying hot cocoa. Pictures are included with the experience so you can take home some cherished memories with you.
Take a Show Shoe Tour
Another great way to spend some time with your loved one out in the snow is with a snow shoe tour. Winter Park Resort offers our Nature Snowshoe Tour that will take you and your loved one out onto the mountain and navigate the Fraser Valley. The entire trail is all downhill making it an easier venture out in the snow. You will marvel at the beauty of snowtipped trees as you take the gondola ride up to the top to start the trail. All you need are winter boots or shoes to keep your feet warm during this romantic activity.
