It can be hard to come up with ideas for a date night as we have a lot going on, which is why we found 10 fun and unique date nights you can do as a couple.
SCENIC HIKE + LUNCH
Go on a scenic hike and have a picnic lunch at the top of a hill or unique scenic spot. This is a great way to enjoy nature on a crisp day and, bonus, get some exercise together. Pack a healthy lunch that you both can enjoy. Especially with the weather being cool and brisk this could be an exciting time to get outside and explore!
COOKING CLASS
Take a cooking class together and learn to make a new dish. This is a fun and interactive way to spend time together and learn a new skill. Many cooking schools offer classes for couples and sometimes you could find some really affordable ones in your local Facebook groups.
VINEYARD OR BREWERY
Go wine tasting at a local vineyard. This is a romantic and sophisticated date idea. Many vineyards offer tours and tastings, and you can often purchase a bottle of your favorite wine to take home with you. Now, if you’re not a drink that’s okay, search for unique outdoor venues like national parks and gardens in your area.
