I know it’s been a while since I’ve written a date idea post! Not that my husband and I stopped going on dates :)
We spent Friday afternoon at a lovely local winery thanks to my awesome friend Emily! Concannon Vineyard in Livermore has a wonderful and long history. Their petite sirah is amazing! We tried five wines, bought our favorite and wandered around the vineyard taking photos.
I highly recommend visiting a winery as a date or outing with friends. Vineyards are a beautiful and relaxing place the date itself doesn’t have to be expensive. Many vineyards have a restaurant on site or can visit the tasting room as we did!
If there isn’t a winery near you, you can always do your own tasting at home. Purchase a few different bottles (be careful not to drink too much!) and set up a romantic tasting complete with small bites and desserts that compliment each wine. If the weather is nice, set up the tasting outdoors!
What is your favorite or dream date? Me? Disneyland has always been my favorite and Paris is a dream! Share in the comments below :)
Glad you guys had a good time. We’ll have to do a double date there soon! As for my dream date, Disneyland and Paris both sound great to me, too! :)
Yes would love to do a double date and thank you again for making it possible Emily!
Thats an amazing Vineyard… I love the seats that are out in the open, some lights at night would make this place picture perfect. Glad you guys had fun =)
Thank you Jasmine! I loved the outdoor area, so relaxing.
Concannon is beautiful! We got married there last September under the grape arbor (the leaves were all filled in over the top and even had grapes on them!), cocktail hour on the great lawn under the trees and the reception in the barrel room. The whole winery (especially the grape arbor) made for some amazing pictures. Their wines are good too! :-)
I’m sure you had a beautiful wedding! Such a great location to get married and yes the wine is delicious, we brought home a couple bottles!
Could you tell me what they charged you for reserving the Grape Arbor?
