Valentine’s Day Date: 10 Excellent Date Ideas

Valentine’s dates spent indoors can be excellent. They’re calm and cosy. But, after being made to spend last Valentine’s Day at home, you might be ready to get out and do something awesome with your special someone. And, we’re thinking you’re after a little more than a stroll to the kebab shop on the corner.

No problem, we’ve got a list of 10 awesome Valentine’s Day ideas. Some are super romantic, while others are great for adrenaline junkies. But, one thing’s for sure; they’re all sure to give you an unforgettable Valentine’s date with your special someone.

10 choices for a spectacular Valentine’s Day date

So, before we get to the ideas, we’d like you to know that setting these dates up isn’t going to be hard at all. That’s because they’re all gift experiences. So, all you need to do is make one call to arrange them.

Some are dependent on weather and the time of year. But, that’s OK. You can give the experience voucher as a Valentine’s gift and then go when it suits you.

With that in mind, let’s get rolling!

1. Vineyard Tour and Tastings

There’s something unmistakably romantic about wine and vineyards. So, planning a date where you can explore a vineyard and taste some wine is an excellent idea for Valentine’s Day. And, that’s exactly what you can do on this Vineyard Tour And Tasting For Two.

Choose from 12 different locations in the UK, each with its own unique experience. You’ll be shown around the vineyard, where you’ll learn all about the wine produced there. Then, you’ll get to sample the wine from that vineyard.

2. Two Night Getaway for Two

Squeezing a busy night into a busy week might not create the romance you’re after. Instead, you need worry-free minds and a super-relaxing environment. And, you can get all of that with a Two Night Getaway For Two.

Choose from a variety of locations across Great Britain, either finding a hotel that’s close to home or a getaway in a place that you’ve always wanted to visit. And, with two nights to relax, you’ll find this experience perfect to unwind and enjoy each other’s company.   

3. Indulgent Spa Day for Two

Giving your partner a massage on your Valentine’s date is great. But, if you could both be massaged at the same time… well, that even better. And, that’s easy to arrange with this Indulgent Spa Day For Two.

This experience lets you choose from a selection of spas with amazing facilities and loads of different treatments. With loads of venues to choose from across the UK, you’re sure to find one that’s just right for your day of pampering.

4. Winery and Brewery Tour with Tasting for Two

We dare say there’s a couple or two in the UK who have a slight difference of opinion when it comes to favourite drinks, with beer and wine being the frontrunners. Well, you don’t need to settle the argument for this date. In fact, you get the best of both worlds, because it’s a Winery and Brewery Tour with Tasting for Two.

Yep, you get to tour Chiltern Valley, which is both a winery AND a brewery! See all the grape-pressing facilities, bottling areas, and labelling plant. Then at the end of it, you’ll be able to taste the wine and ale that’s produced there.

5. Mega Choice for Couples

If you’re not quite sure what to do for your date, and you’re starting to feel like that person who’s holding up a long line at the coffee shop while you decide… don’t stress, you don’t have to make the decision now. All you need is the Mega Choice for Couples.

This handy gift experience is loaded with a choice of 30 different experiences. You could do high-energy stuff, like indoor karting or a high ropes course. Or, you could chill with a dining river cruise or flotation therapy. There are even sailing, golf, and West End experiences to choose from. So, you can order the experience now and decide together on Valentine’s Day.

6. Comedy Night for Two

If your tried and trusted banter isn’t getting the same laughs that it used to, it might be time to call in the pros. Good thing that arranging a night of side-splitting laughter is as easy as ordering these Comedy Night Tickets for Two.

This experience lets you pick from 28 locations for a hilarious night out. You’ll be treated to the talents of up-and-coming comedians, who deliver the best medicine in huge helpings.

7. Segway Thrill for Two

Maybe love poems and rose petals aren’t your thing, and you want a Valentine’s Date with a little more energy. Uh, electric energy that is. Whew, we segwayed away from that nicely. And, speaking of Segways, that’s exactly where we’re heading with this – a Segway Thrill for Two.

Whether you’re a Segway pro or you’ve never ridden one before, this experience is perfect for you. You’ll be taken on an instructor-led tour in one of 13 locations in the UK. And, at the end of your hour, you’ll get a souvenir certificate to help you remember the experience.

8. Picnic Boat Cruise for Two in Oxfordshire

There’s that old English saying, ‘You haven’t truly seen Oxford’s historic sites unless you’ve seen them from a gentle motorboat.’ We think Shakespeare might have coined that one, but our history escapes us. But, whether it was the Bard or us a moment ago, the saying rings true. That’s why this Picnic Boat Cruise for Two In Oxfordshire makes for a great date.

During the boat cruise you’ll have a chance to relax, take in the beautiful countryside, see some famous landmarks, have a chat, and tuck into a traditional picnic basket. You’d be hard-pressed to find a more British way to spend an afternoon.

9. West End Theatre and Tea or Dinner for Two

‘Dinner and a show.’ We tend to drop that little chestnut when we’re casually eating hotdogs and witness a couple of squirrels practicing their wrestling. So, it’s sort of lost its elegance. But, it’s time to bring that back with this West End Theatre And Afternoon Tea Or Dinner For Two experience.

This experience gives you a choice of current West End shows. And, so you’re not disturbing the performance with the growling of your stomach, you’ll have a choice of afternoon tea or an early dinner beforehand.

10. View from The Shard and Afternoon Tea for Two at Novotel London Bridge

If you fancy the excitement of the big city, not to mention breath-taking views (other than your partner), then this View from The Shard experience is a perfect choice.

Despite its cryptic name, you might have guessed that this experience lets you go up The Shard in London to get an amazing view of the city. Then, once you’ve satisfied your appetite for scenery, you can satisfy your appetite for food by enjoying a delicious afternoon tea for two at Novotel London Bridge.
