By Brooke Crawford

If you’re in need of a new weekend date idea, improve your palate and tease your taste buds by taking a couples trip to a winery or brewery. Napa Valley is one of the world’s premier locations for fine wine. If you live on the West Coast, you can plan a romantic getaway to one of the region’s romantic vineyards. On the East Coast, north Georgia is home to some wineries too.

A Beer and Wine-Filled Date Idea

Is your partner more of a beer fan? New York City is home to a variety of wonderful options. The Brooklyn Brewery not only serves an assortment of beer, but it also offers tours and allows customers to order food from the surrounding area. Or with summer approaching, try the Standard Biergarten’s lovely outdoor facility, which is right below the beautiful High Line.

The St. Louis location is currently the number one ranked brewery in the United States. Tours are available in four other states as well.
