Gather your coven around the cauldron with today's side deal to romantic fondue feasting at Boordy Vineyards. For $9, you'll get an adult ticket to Fond of Your Fondue and a wine glass for tasting, an $18 value. Relax among the 19th century farm buildings on the Boordy estate, nestled in the hills of the Long Green Valley, just a short drive north of the beltway. This event runs from 1–5 p.m. on February 7, making this a game-changing way to mentally prepare for the Super Bowl.

You'll get to toast marshmallows over an open-flame cauldron and sample rich chocolate, cheese, and caramel fondues as you socialize with friends over Boordy's fine wines. Your romantic afternoon includes a guided tour of the vineyard and winery, where you'll learn about the winemaking process and confront wine-drunk ghosts in the 1830s stone wine cellar. Bring your sweetie for a romantic dance and drink as Sara Jones performs live jazz.

Tickets for children 2–12 are $5 online or at the gate.
