The Taste of Italy!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Hiltons of Branson. All opinions are 100% mine.

The month of the hearts and love is here! Time really fly so fast. I was just absorbing our Christmas and winter getaway in Hawaii and here comes the month of love! Where did January go? I know that everyone is waiting for the month of February to come. Everybody is preparing something special for their loved ones and friends. Everyone is catching up to go shopping to get something. That is actually what I am doing since February 1st. I have been looking at the mall and browsing great deals online on what I could give to my husband. I have been patiently sweeping the malls and carefully getting details online. I still have one week to go to complete my Valentine surprise for him.

I asked him what he wants for Valentine's Day. He said nothing! But still, I want to make it something extra special for him as we celebrate the Heart's Day. Then I thought, maybe a weekend getaway will be best for us two. We could go somewhere to entertain ourselves. There are a lot of things to do in Branson, Missouri. The good food, the live music, places to shop, a walk in a river or other attractions that will interest us. It would be a lot of fun! Since I am a pasta lover, the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel is bringing Italy to Branson, Missouri with their exclusive Italian Culinary Weekend from Friday, February 26th through Saturday, February 27th. The weekend will kick off Friday evening with a reception featuring antipasto and hors d’oeuvres paired with great Italian wines. On Saturday, participants will experience a hands-on cooking demonstration highlighting some of the items from Friday’s evening reception in addition to some of the menu items featured in the 5-course meal served Saturday evening. It is so cool that I will be experiencing the taste of Italy while staying at the Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing or the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel!

The package costs are based on double occupancy and start at $429.00 (excluding tax and gratuity) for two people. It includes deluxe king or double queen accommodations Friday and Saturday night, Friday evening reception, Saturday cooking school, Saturday evening five-course dinner, and a goodie bag filled with items for the home chef. Reservations must be made prior to February 23, 2010. It would be the best gift ever for him and I love it! We will be visiting the state of Missouri again! The place where everybody enjoys shopping, museums, the music and the food! All in one place that brings joy and smile to each and everyone. We will have fun at Branson, Missouri checking every place while we are there.
