Here’s your reminder that Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! Whether you’re planning for a romantic date night with the love of your life or you’re raring to go on a fun night out with your friends, here are Valentine’s Day events around the metro worth trying out.
Whether you’re single and looking for a V-day activity or want to plan a creative date night with the love of your life, Studio Matisse in Greenhills has just the event for you. They will hold a Single’s Pottery workshop for hand-building (P3,000/head) and wheel throwing (P4,000/head) on Feb. 11 and 15, respectively. The fee comes with free cold brew and pastry. And if you want to bring your crush or a special someone along for the activity, they get P500 off on regular rates. Studio Matisse is also set to mount a Lovers Pottery Night with slots open for wheel throwing (P8,000/pair) on Feb. 15. Send them a message on Instagram to reserve your slot!
Nothing’s better than celebrating Valentine’s Day with a roster of classic rom-coms, great drinks, and maybe a little arts and crafts on the side. McKinley Whisky Park, the first & biggest outdoor liquor park in Asia, has the perfect event for couples and barkadas on Feb. 14 and 15. Sip on some Charles & James Highball cocktail while enjoying your Glow-In-The-Dark Artboom painting or watching a mix of classic & modern Rom-Com movies. The watch party flicks include 50 First Dates, Valentine’s Day, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Flipped, and more. Tickets start at P600 for 2 and you can reserve them here.
Couples whose love language is sharing good food will be delighted with Burrow Cafe’s V-day offer — Pag-Ibig, “a Valentine’s dinner in the woods.” On Feb. 14, 10 couples will get to experience a six-course dinner (P8,000/pair) prepared by Executive Chef Danilo Puga, accompanied by live music. It doesn’t get any sweeter than this. To book a slot, message Burrow Cafe on Instagram or send them a text at 0917 622 9795.
Those who prefer to celebrate with their gals can do so at Wabi Sabi’s Galentine’s Wine and Pottery event. Gather the girlies on Feb. 10 for a two-hour workshop of decorating and painting mugs while enjoying a glass of wine. The event will start at 7 PM and is set at P2,900/person. Reserve your slot at Wabi Sabi’s website.
If you’re up for a bit of fun and meeting new people, Single Origin’s V-day gimmick is the way to go. The exclusive event on Feb. 17 at Single Origin Rockwell lets friends “pitch their single friends’ best qualities to a room full of attractive personalities.” Sounds fun? Send the cafe your best pick-up line on Instagram to reserve your slot for the event.
Who knew being a third wheel this Valentine’s Day could be this good? Crowne Plaza Manila is offering a free lunch for third wheels on Feb. 14 and 15 at the 7 Corners Restaurant. The couple can enjoy their meal for P2,700/person while the lucky single friends get to enjoy theirs at no cost (they just have to endure their friends being overly sweet to each other for the duration of the meal). To book a table, you can reach Crowne Plaza Manila at +6328 790 3100.
Fill your day with sweets and colors at the Bakebe PH and The Dessert Museum’s delightful Sip, Bake, and Tour event. Starting at P999/person you get to bake a cake or pastry per pair while sipping on two free glasses of wine. Afterward, you can explore The Dessert Museum’s eight mouthwatering rooms with free desserts and games and take IG snaps to your heart’s content. Secure tickets for you and your besties or S/Os here.
