Which three words best describe Galena? Charming, historic, beautiful? Perhaps. But more to the point would be “table for two.” This quaint town is known, after all, for catering to couples with “we time” that includes everything from a romantic dinner for two to an intimate wine tasting at a local vineyard. You can also soar high above the rolling countryside in a hot air balloon, relax aboard a Mississippi River cruise, or toast your time together.
