Tapas on the Trails

We love indulging in restaurants on random weekends and prefer to stay clear of places on Valentine's Day due to the crowds and sometimes subpar service and inflated prices.

Of course, I am quite a sap therefore I couldn't just ignore a holiday designed to celebrate LOVE!  I found that the Houston Arboretum was offering a special event called "Tapas on the Trails."  It included a stroll through the woods with 5 different stops; each with a unique course and wine pairing.

Overall it was a fun, unique way to spend the holiday together while avoiding the masses!  We went for the start of the event therefore it wasn't crowded.  They decorated the pathway and had luminaries guide the path.  It ended up being quite a romantic evening!

Each stop had a tent with a course and wine pairing.  The food was okay, not fantastic however the unique experience made up for the lacking food.  We enjoyed soup, salad, risotto, beef and a dessert display throughout our journey!!

Overall it was a fun evening and we will definitely be on the look-out for other special events at the Arboretum!  I am hopeful they have something in the spring and/or fall so it could be a bit warmer outside!

I know it's a month past, however hope everyone had an enjoyable Valentine's Day!!
