Valentines in Niagara (VIN)

Valentines in Niagara (VIN) is an annual lifestyle convention staged in Niagara Falls, Ontario every February, organized by Tabota Events and running continuously since 2007. It operates as a complete hotel takeover of a luxury resort with an enclosed indoor tropical waterpark — the entire property reserved exclusively for attendees — drawing more than 200 couples per year from across Canada and the United States. The event bills itself as Canada's largest swingers lifestyle convention and sells out every year without exception. The host venue is an upscale resort minutes from the falls, with an indoor waterpark featuring a pool, two hot tubs, and poolside lounging, plus award-winning gourmet dining and bistro-style snacks served in a courtyard setting. The weekend runs to more than 20 programmed activities: 60- to 90-minute seminars and workshops — some informational, some with demonstrations, some fully hands-on — on topics including tantric sex, erotic photography, and intimacy skills. Afternoon events include body painting, pole dancing, and a couples speed dating session. Evening entertainment in the Oak Room has featured comedians, burlesque performers, and a hypnotist. Two themed dances anchor the nights: Friday's Red & White Your Hearts Delight party unfolds inside the waterpark itself, and Saturday's Mardi Gras night is the weekend's wildest evening. A vendor marketplace runs throughout, and two dedicated play spaces operate both nights — the Penthouse Playroom for open couples' exploration, and a Kinky Play Area equipped for bondage and sensation play. Pool parties are clothing-optional throughout. The core weekend runs Friday through Saturday, with an optional Thursday night pre-party available as an add-on. Pricing for 2027 in Canadian dollars, excluding HST: an event pass for a couple is CAD $398; pass with two nights in a standard room is CAD $968; poolside or wing-room upgrades add CAD $298; the Thursday pre-party is an additional CAD $229. A mandatory cash-only party credit of $100 per person is collected at check-in and is redeemable for food and drink anywhere in the hotel. Credit card payments carry a 6% surcharge. The event is open to couples and unaccompanied women only — single men are not admitted. Minimum age is 19. Advance booking through tabotaevents.com is required; event-only passes are available for guests staying off-site.
