valentine’s day date ideas (romantic + bougie!)

Valentine’s is around the corner, and if you or your partner are looking to splurge a little more this year, here are some romantic and bougie valentine's date ideas you might consider!

1) romantic horse carriage ride through the vineyard ~ me and my partner did this a few years ago, and it’s one of my favorite memories! We started the afternoon on a horse carriage through vineyards, and ended up having a picnic along our stroll

2) hot air balloon ride ~ this is a fun activity to do with a group of other couples as well! It’s definitely an experience I recommend trying at least once!

3) spend an afternoon on a sailboat ~ spend the afternoon on a romantic sailboat ride. Check with your local booking, as most also provide drinks and snacks, which are always a plus!

4) couples spa day & massage ~ a romantic way to unwind and spend quality time

5) bougie dinner at a fancy restaurant! ~ valentine’s doesnt happen everyday, so why not splurge a little more on tonight’s date night with a fancy dinner at a trendy and fancy restaurant!
