As Valentine’s Day approaches, love is in the air, and what better way to celebrate than with a memorable date night? Whether you’re in the early stages of a blossoming romance or looking to reignite the spark in a long-term relationship, Valentine’s Day presents the perfect opportunity to create lasting memories with your significant other. Our team has a few date night ideas guaranteed to make this Valentine’s Day one to remember.

Lower Forge Brewery – 14 South Main Street (Downtown Village)

Medford’s first craft brewery, known for their eclectic styles and wide variety as well as a series of award-winning hard seltzers. Due to unique restrictions that New Jersey places on breweries, Lower Forge is known as “BYOF” (bring-your-own-food) and offers flights to accompany any meals delivered or brought into their tasting room.

Stokelan Winery – 52 Eayrestown Road (Northern Farms)

Medford’s own winery, with an amazing array of vintages to satisfy every palate as well as an atmosphere and ambiance transported from the most intimate settings found in New York City or Philadelphia. With a tasting menu that compliments every sip, Stokelan continues to grow a loyal following with every glass poured on their historic property.

Illiano Cucina – 200 Tuckerton Road (Taunton & Tuckerton)

Hidden behind the trees and small pond of the Village at Taunton Forge, the tradition of decades of superb Italian and Mediterranean cuisine mesh with the familiarity of a family-owned Medford landmark. Illiano’s is BYOB (bring-your-own-bottle) friendly to allow you to accompany their delicious meals with the wine or beer of your choice, creating the perfect opportunity for food pairing.
