Ride A Horse In A Vineyard In California
When you think about going on a romantic weekend getaway in California, Big Sur or a City Break in San Francisco come to mind. Even Napa Valley and Sonoma Valley have greater recognition as well-known California wine country destinations. Still, Paso Robles is quickly gaining recognition for producing Rhone-style and Bordeaux-style wines and it’s a wonderful area for a couple’s vacation.
Plus, with three hundred wineries in the area, there are a lot of vineyards to explore.
Stay at the centrally located Hotel Cheval; the equestrian-themed luxury boutique near Downtown City Park in Paso Robles is close to several shops, restaurants, and wine-tasting venues.
It’s an excellent home base for exploring vineyards – including horseback rides courtesy of Central Coast Trail Rides – Cayucos or Morro Rock Beach, and the amazing Sensorio art installation by British artist Bruce Munro.

Snuggle Under The Boardwalk In Delaware
The classic summer beach vacation at Rehoboth Beach, Delaware – sand, mile-long boardwalk, and food haven – is even better in the shoulder season. Just after Memorial Day and before mid-June everything is open, but it’s at a fraction of the price.
And, since most kids are still in school, this is when couples can best savor quieter oceanside delights.

A charming Southern town, a beautiful rose garden, and a Southern food tour are just a sample of fabulous things to do in Thomasville GA. And for a booklover’s perspective, check out this Thomasville weekend getaway itinerary from Erin at Flying Off The Bookshelf.
Decide On The Best Hawaiian Island
Passions flare when arguing about why Maui is the best Hawaiian island. Is it history? Or unrivaled beaches? For sure, the best thing about Maui is the literal farm-to-table food.
Or no, it’s holistic experiences in 5-star resorts at the best areas to stay on Maui. Or, more likely it’s the hedonistic pleasures to be found at indulgent resorts such as Montage Kapalua Bay.
Bottom line, all of the above play into why Maui is such a wonderful island for romance.
Experience A Glamping Getaway In Idaho
Relax in a wilderness campsite with all the bells & whistles, and none of the hassle. Located near Jackson Hole, WY, and Grand Teton National Park, Moose Creek Ranch provides cabins, lodge suites, and RV sites. But the most romantic accommodations are the secluded creekside Glamping Tents.

Appreciate Art & Architecture In Illinois
You don’t always usually see Chicago on the list of most romantic cities, but why not?
With such a big city, there are so many things for couples to do in Chicago that we extended our usual weekend getaway guide into what to do with five days in Chicago.
Suffice it to say we recommend the usual iconic sites plus a Gangsters Walking Tour, the Architectural River Cruise, plus the inner city’s real sand beach. And yes, we do wade into the Pizza Wars.
As for where to stay in Chicago, we like the Silversmith Hotel for its historic bones, classic elegance, and convenient location in Downtown Chicago within walking distance of many of the city’s top attractions.
Stargaze In A Dark Sky Zone In Indiana
One of the most recent places to earn its designation, Indiana Dunes National Park includes sandy shores along the southern edge of Lake Michigan, as well as 50 miles of trails through forests and prairies.

Lafayette, Louisiana is at the heart of the South’s Cajun & Creole Country, and it offers a number of wonderful places to stay near Atchafalaya National Heritage Area.
McGee’s Louisiana Swamp & Airboat Tours runs all-day paddle trips and sunset dinner cruises on the Atchafalaya Swamp, and both cabins or houseboats are available to rent via the heritage area organization.

But if you’d rather forest bathe by day, and a comfy slumber by night, consider renting out a Fresh Coast Log Cabin.

It’s almost impossible to choose the very best love song by Prince. Could it be International Lover, Purple Rain, or (a personal favorite) Let’s Go Crazy? Prince fans could easily spend a month exploring every Minneapolis Hometown connection.

Romantic Getaways In Mississippi
70. Go Down To The Crossroads And Get On Up On The Blues Trail
The legend of the crossroads can be traced back to long before Mississippi came to be; and yet, the notion that Robert Johnson sold his soul to play the guitar sends chills even to nonbelievers. Find the roadside marker, a pole with three guitars, on the Mississippi Blues Trail.
But if you love the blues, then don’t miss Morgan Freeman’s Ground Zero Blues Club. As for where to stay, it’s got to be the well-named Shack Up Inn.

Romantic getaways in Branson, Missouri can take on different shapes. If you’re into shows, Branson gets A-listers in addition to all the long-running performances. Foodies will find fine dining, as well as all the major chains.

Read all about it in our Downtown Asheville NC travel guide where we review a few of our favorite hotels for couples, including the fabulously pet-friendly Foundry Hotel.
Bring Your Sense Of Humor To North Dakota
Fargo doesn’t take itself too seriously; in fact, the city keeps the original woodchipper from the 1996 black comedy on display for photo ops. And that’s just what we like about visiting Fargo. Winters are just as cold as you might imagine, but they’re also fun. Hockey, snowshoeing, and fat-tire biking are just a taste of winter outdoor activities.
Stay within walking distance of Downtown Fargo attractions at the Jasper Hotel, a fresh upscale, and still very local property.
You Don’t Need Your Beer Goggles In Ohio
Nothing screams romance like chugging a brewski, right? Wrong. Or maybe it’s so wrong that it’s just right. Go all in and stay at a beer hotel, the Doghouse Columbus Hotel is pure fun.

Get Lost In A Story In Oregon
At Sylvia Beach Hotel, pair long stretches of coastline with a historic beachfront that’s custom-built for book lovers. All the rooms are well stocked with books, but the rooms go a step further.

Bathe In A Champagne Glass In Pennsylvania
Boomers will remember the radio jingle about Mount Airy Lodge, “All you have to bring is your love of everything.” Since then, the original structure was demolished and the Mount Airy Casino Resort replaced it.

As for those who miss the original couples retreat, they can still find suites with heart-shaped hot tubs, private pools, and Jacuzzis shaped like champagne bottles at the Cove Pocono Resort (see what we mean in our Poconos Romantic Getaway post.)

But you’ll feel like you’ve turned the clock back to a slower, more gracious time. And frankly, the food is so delicious here and the courtyard so relaxing, that perhaps, you won’t want to leave the premises at all.
Time Travel Back To The Old West In South Dakota
Travel back in time to the wild, wild West in Deadwood, South Dakota. Stroll a Main Street lined with period buildings where you’ll watch a real, live (staged) gunfight. Wash down a steak dinner with hard liquor, or not.

Learn about the history, hike up to stunning views, and enjoy fine dining as well as a fine stay at an elegant period-piece bed and breakfast.
Now, you can stay right on the hill in Harpers Ferry, but accommodations are tight and parking is tough. A better choice is the charming Hillbrook Inn B&B nearby in Charles Town WV.
