Who's on board for some romance? This enchanting winter train ride near Toronto offers a dreamy dinner with a side of snowy views.

The Waterloo Central Railway is hosting a Valentrain Dinner Experience and you can enjoy a "romantic journey through wintery landscapes and breathtaking countryside views," according to the website.

Taking place on February 15, 2025, the 2-hour train ride is a magical way to celebrate Valentine's Day with your loved one. The trip departs from St. Jacobs, located an hour from Toronto.

You'll enjoy a "delectable feast" in the heritage dining car with views of the frosty countryside beyond.

The menu is made up of a "symphony of flavours" created with locally sourced ingredients. You'll enjoy bread and butter along with roast pepper bisque with black bean hummus drizzle to start, then a choice of beef tenderloin or supreme of chicken rolled in a sun-dried tomato pesto with cabernet jus, red potato mash and roasted root veggies for the main course.

A romantic dinner isn't complete without dessert, and you can dig into a chocolate raspberry mousse torte for a sweet end to the meal.

Alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages will be available to purchase onboard.

Seating is in tables for four and space is limited, so you'll want to book asap.

If you're looking for something unique to do this Valentine's Day, the Valentrain might be worth a ride.
