Ontario Romantic Winter Holiday-Weekend Getaway Tips

There is something about a warm wood burning fireplace, glasses of wine or champagne, and snowflakes gently falling outside a steaming hot tub. The picture perfect romantic weekend creates an almost idyllic winter setting--especially in February, as outlined in our February For Lovers getaways.

Romance in the winter—or Romancing the Snow

It is the setting for romantic couples that symbolizes love and romance. Many of the 400ELEVEN member properties have a photo portraying the perfect setting be it a couple holding hands, or two glasses being filled by a fireplace.  Romance for couples together. See our Romantic Getaway locations and packages. 

The Historic Romantic Winter

Romance can also be defined in a historical sense reflecting the beauty of falling snow, a winter vista and the purifying nature of white snow.  There is the quiet of a winter evening listening to The Four Seasons by Vivaldi, that is Winter of course.  There are many more metaphors, poems, and songs that exude the romance of winter.  See a selection of romantic winter quotes that may put you in the mood for a special romantic feeling.

Romantic Winter Quotes

Taken from Adam Gopnik, Winter, Five Windows on the Season.

"The snow introduced itself--by its soft persistence and blanketing intensity" 

"A love of winter vistas--a belief that they are as beautiful and seductive in their own way, and as essential to the human spirit and the human soul as any summer scene"

"The romance of winter is only possible when we have a warm, secure indoors to retreat to, and winter becomes a season to look at as much as one to live through"

"what makes winter wonderful....is this sense that you can project onto it forms of ice and snow anything you want to see"

"The winter window has two sides, one for the watcher and one for the white drifts, and the experience of winter is neither one or the other, but both at once"

"Sweet winter is the the season of intimacy, scary winter is the season of the imagination."
