In this particular article we will cover several key Melbourne Valentine's Day events.
Valentine's Day at the MoviesOpening in theatres this Valentine's Day is one lone cinema release,
This Means War, starring Reese Witherspoon, Tom Hardy and Chris Pine. It is a sort of spy versus spy rom com. If that does not appeal to you, there is
The Vow, a film billed as the next
The Notebook - with Ryan Gosling replaced by Channing Tatum.
Any Questions for Ben? is another Valentine's Day option, however if you want to see
Shame, perhaps save it for another day.
Valentine's Day DiningSeveral Melbourne cafes and restaurants will have special set menus on Valentine's Day evening - here are our top picks;
Terra Rossa Restaurant/Bar is an acclaimed Italian establishment and they are offering a Valentine's Day special. Bookings are required, so head to their
