Valentine’s Day in Incline Village and Crystal Bay isn’t just about candlelit dinners; it’s about community, creativity, and finding meaningful ways to connect with the people (and places) we love. Whether you’re celebrating with a partner, friends, family, or simply treating yourself, here are some local ways to make February 14 feel special.
Tahoe Gifting: Just Because – We like you and we Love to Party
If you’re looking for something relaxed, creative, and community-driven, Tahoe Gifting is kicking off Valentine’s Day with a feel-good afternoon at The Cut—and no, you don’t need a reason other than they like you.
This free, low-pressure event is all about slowing down and enjoying where we live and who we get to share it with. Come solo, bring your favorite person, or gather a few friends and make an afternoon of it.
What to expect:
- Tastings with Minden Mill Distillery
- Charcuterie snacks
- Create a custom love-potion room spray with Sierra Soapbox Candle Co.
- Design a bag charm or keychain at the new charm bar
- On-site laser engraving so your piece is unmistakably yours
Add cozy music, projected visuals, and The Cut’s welcoming energy, and you’ve got a Valentine’s celebration that’s more about connection than convention.
Free event. RSVP encouraged.
