Searching for ideas to make this Valentine’s Day extra special? Look no further! Here’s your go-to list of local spots for flowers, candy, dinner and drinks.

Say It with Flowers

When you want to let someone know you’re just crazy about them, express your affection with flowers. Family-owned Viviano Flower Shop, with locations throughout Macomb County, offers a free gift with orders placed by Feb. 10.

Dinner and Drinks

After dinner, head to Westview Orchards Winery in Washington Township. Follow the spiral staircase from the cider barn through the silo and up to the second floor rustic wine tasting room. You can sample three different WOW fruit wines – including the intriguingly named Sweet Revenge – for $6 per person.
