Here are three suggestions for fun and romantic date night ideas around Atlanta.

Party with the Past

Free history. Cold beer. It’s the perfect slogan for fun. Young professionals who enjoy a brew and sophisticated chat will adore this regular event through Atlanta History Center. Each Party with the Past affair takes place at a different historical location around the city, including the Fox Theater, Westview Cemetery, Best End Brewing and the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center. Enjoy historical antics from a guest speaker, a cash bar, yummy eats and plenty of activities and prizes.

Go on a bookstore date

Bookstore dates are every book lover’s dream. The Read Shop in Vinings offers everything you could need for a perfect bookstore date. First, grab a coffee and pastry to fill your stomach. Then task each other to find a book you think your partner would enjoy. After purchasing, write a note behind the cover and explain why you think this would be a good read for your sweetie.

Dahlonega is home to five wineries, each worth a visit. If you’ve already done the winery tour (or you want to add to it) then try the tasting rooms on the Dahlonega Square. From Cane Creek to Naturally Georgia, there are more than half a dozen tasting rooms and wine shops to choose from.
