If kissing in an apple orchard isn’t on your bucket list, it probably should be.
Cozy sweater + woven basket + apple scented orchard. So romantic!
Head to a local orchard to go apple picking, or find some at a farmers market. Then top the night off by sipping apple cider and baking an apple dessert like one of these:
French Apple Tart. One of my all time favorite desserts. Buttery, flakey, and only uses 1/3 cup of sugar. Yum!
Apple custard pie with cinnamon streusel. Custard in a pie? Brilliant. Add this to your ‘to bake’ list.
Paleo Apple Crisp Coffee Cake. Perfect for gluten or dairy allergies or if you’re feeling healthy. Hey, it can happen.
French Apple Cake. Another favorite apple dessert of mine! Also doubles as a fabulous breakfast. I usually sub the rum with extra vanilla.
Bonus Points: Bake extra treats and deliver to someone in need of some apple goodness.
2. Trip to Hogsmeade
Ask your S/O out on a date to Three Broomsticks for drinks. Make a small batch of either frozen butterbeer, hot butterbeer (try my recipe from our adult Harry Potter Party), or pumpkin juice. Then snuggle up to watch your favorite Harry Potter movie.
Bonus Points: Take turns trying and rating Bertie Bots Every Flavor Beans.
3. Couples Costume Date
My friend Sierra totally NAILED Halloween with this couples costume.
For this date, look up awesome couples costumes (post coming soon), head to a thrift store for supplies, then go home and assemble your costumes together. Your odds are high for winning the costume contest this year!
Bonus Points: Throw a Halloween party in October and host your own costume contest. Make party planning easy with these unique Halloween party themes. (Perfect for getting Halloween decor inspo too.)
4. Visit a Local Haunt
Many businesses have special fall/Halloween decor or events. Look one up and go check it out!
From restaurants with seasonal menus, to hot air balloon festivals, to peach festivals, to spooktacular swim nights, there are so many fun fall date nights opportunities!
Bonus Points: Snap a festive photo together featuring your unique local find.
5. Meet Me at the Farmers Market
Head to a local farmers market and try something new. Then take turns asking vendors questions like:
- What did you grow on the farm when you first started?
- Are you a first generation farm owner or has your family been in farming in the past?
- What is the hardest part of farming for you?
- What is the most satisfying part of farming for you?
Bonus Points: Go home and make a meal using one or more ingredients from the market.
6. Romantic Fall Picnic
Soak up the colors of autumn with an intimate fall picnic tucked away in the mountains or quiet a park.
Bonus points: Make a leaf heart and snap a pic.
7. S’mores Bucket List Date
For the last fall date idea, curl up by the campfire and try at least 3 different s’mores recipes.
Key lime pie s’mores are ah-mazing. But you can also try s’mores with salted caramel, toasted coconut, brownie thins, peppermint patties, or even bacon + pretzel crisps! So many fun combos. Get more unique s’mores ideas HERE.
Bonus Points: Make a custom surprise s’more for your date to eat blindfolded.
And that’s a wrap! Turn your next Friday night into a hot date night with one of these thoughtful fall date ideas and you’ll have a sizzlin’ fall.
