Looking for the most decadent way to spend your Valentine's Day? The Waldorf Astoria Orlando is hosting its first Chocolate, Wine & Romance Weekend-- just in time for V-day. Indulge in fine chocolates, champagne and spa treatments.
Spoil your soul with the most indulgent things in life – chocolate, wine and romance – during the inaugural Waldorf Astoria Chocolate, Wine & Romance Weekends, held exclusively for overnight guests at the Orlando resort, Feb. 11-13 and 18-20, 2011.
Guests who visit during the Chocolate, Wine & Romance Weekends can enjoy several surprises and decadent diversions:
• Art and Chocolate: A Walking Tour – An opportunity to learn more about the commissioned artwork collection of Waldorf Astoria Orlando, and sample chocolates that have been paired to add inspiration to each painting. [Complimentary to guests]
• Bar du Chocolat: A Chocolate Extravaganza – Enjoy a nightly opportunity to experience nearly 30 a la carte chocolate treats from Waldorf Astoria’s display of decadence. Peacock Alley is transformed into a chocolate boudoir, offering an evening of self indulgence. Guests can choose from a selection of chocolate treats from the hotel’s talented pastry team, including handmade chocolate truffles, exotic chocolate cakes, pillows of chocolate mousse, and bowls of beautiful bon-bons. [Priced per piece]
• Smooth Jazz: Featuring Joseph Billups Duo – Enjoy nightly entertainment in Peacock Alley, where our Smooth Jazz Trio will add spice to the night. [Complimentary to guests]
• The Marriage of Chocolate and Wine: A Seminar – Take a sip of wine first. Then take a bite of chocolate and let it melt in your mouth. Then take another sip of wine. You'll notice a totally different taste in the wine, especially with the heavier reds like Cabernet Sauvignon. The chocolate will bring out the best qualities of the wine and diminish any imperfections. They complement one another. They're just made for each other. Learn what wines pair the best with chocolate. [$25 per person]
• For the Love of Wine: A Tasting Experience – A casual wine tasting experience that features the best new wines available this year – our 10 favorite new wines we love! [$25 per person]

• Chocolate perks at Spa by Guerlain – Pair your spa treatments with chocolate treats (and complimentary champagne!), all weekend at Waldorf Astoria Spa by Guerlain.
During these weekends, where luscious chocolate and spicy wines take center stage, accommodations are available at rates starting at $309 on Feb. 11-13 and Feb. 18-20.
The new Waldorf Astoria Orlando has put the destination on the map for luxury travelers. Nestled within a nature preserve and conveniently accessed from within Walt Disney World property, the resort is a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of neighboring theme parks. Cara Goldsbury, author of Luxury Guide to Disney World, calls it “stunningly impressive.” “Swank and sophisticated,” she continued, “Waldorf Astoria has redefined local luxury in Orlando.”
The hotel infuses timeless Jazz Age-elegance from The Waldorf=Astoria in New York City, with the vibrant and modern ambiance of Florida. It features 498 guest rooms and suites with sweeping vistas of Disney and the Bonnet Creek nature preserve.
Re-imagined versions of famed New York City restaurants include Bull & Bear Prime Steakhouse. The spa offers treatments from Guerlain, the legendary Parisian fragrance house. Golf Channel travel writer Brandon Tucker called it “an exclusive playground for the adult-minded traveler.”
