RAINBOW Tourism Group (RTG) has rolled out a nationwide programme of Valentine’s Day dining experiences set for February 14, 2026, positioning its hotels as premier destinations for romance, entertainment and shared celebration during the month of love.
The hospitality giant will host themed dinners across its city hotels and resort properties, offering couples candlelit settings, curated menus and live entertainment designed to blend ambience, quality dining and affordability.
RTG corporate affairs and quality assurance officer Tafadzwa Mhlanga said the group had carefully structured the experiences to cater for different tastes while ensuring accessibility.
“The dinners have been carefully curated to combine ambience, quality dining and entertainment, while remaining accessible and affordable to guests seeking to mark the occasion,” she said.
Valentine’s dinners have increasingly evolved beyond symbolic romance into meaningful social experiences that encourage couples to pause, connect and celebrate relationships in shared spaces.
In a fast-paced world, curated dining experiences provide an opportunity for intentional togetherness, conversation and memory-making.
