Arboretum at Night

Tapas on the Trails

Celebrate a Valentine’s evening with gourmet food and wine on the trails of the Houston Arboretum & Nature Center.

This very special evening features a romantic walk on our softly lit trails, with stops throughout the forest to dine on delicious courses paired with carefully chosen wines. The evening ends at the Meadow Deck, overlooking our one-acre pond and demonstration meadow, where guests will enjoy sparkling wine, handcrafted desserts, coffee, and the company of a live owl.
