For your picnic pleasure, stop by the local cheese and wine shop, Epicure for a myriad of charcuterie accoutrement. Enjoy the picnic until dark and turn the evening into a dreamy stargazing date.

Walk to the waterfall at Hamilton Pool

Waterfalls are synonymous with romance and this one is no exception. Stroll hand in hand down the ¼ mile path towards the pool and enjoy the peaceful serenity of the Texas Hill Country’s most pristine biome. Capture the moment in time by snapping a selfie framed by the grotto and waterfall in the background.

A Cozy Stroll through Historic Downtown

This old-fashioned date idea will make time move slowly, allowing you to make the most of your afternoon. Strolling arm-in-arm is the perfect way to take in the historic architecture and allows for plenty of time to peruse Dripping Springs’ local boutiques and antique shops. This idea is great for lovers who can appreciate the little things in life.

Enjoy a Couples Spa Experience

It's not a true romantic getaway without a little pampering, and a couples spa experience will surely bring you closer together. Treat you and your partner to a personal couples spa experience like massage or facial (or both!) at Serasana Spa or Face-to-Face Spa.

Sunset at a Vineyard

There is nothing more romantic than watching a sunset – and enjoying a glass of wine while the sun puts on its colorful display is one of the most romantic ways to savor your glass (or bottle!). For optimum sunset viewing, watch the action from Driftwood Estate Winery. Sit on a lawn chair above the vineyard and hold hands as you watch the sun go down for a delightfully romantic date.
