Date Night Ideas Gold Coast

Although “Netflix and Chill” is a popular date night idea for many couples (your dirty birds 😏), the pandemic has changed how people view going out and late nights. As restrictions ease up, heading out for dinner and a glass of wine or two is the ideal fun date night activity for couples.

However, for those who want more than just to eat at fancy restaurants, there are many other things to do. Couples looking for new ways to enjoy the night off will enjoy these romantic date night ideas. Here are some fun date ideas that you and your partner will enjoy:

 

A Scenic Picnic In Mt Tamborine

Picnics are common, especially in parks during the day with a basket of cheese and crackers. However, to spice things up, why not bring the picnic to the view of the sunset and mountains on top of a hill?

A scenic picnic is a dinner date with a view—somewhere you can bring your partner to enjoy each other’s company and time together. Although it’s not as fancy as it sounds, what matters is the time spent together—along with good food, great wine and a cracker of a view.

Some of our favourite picnic spots up in Tamborine are:

• The Knoll Section
• Tamborine Mountain Botanic Gardens
• Tamborine National Park
• Guanaba Park
• Rotary Lookout
• Sandy Creek

 

Paint and Pour - The Best Date Night Idea

Paint and Pour or Paint and Sip is a great date night idea, combining the power of wine and the creativity of painting and is so much fun. Couples can book a guided session and let their imagination do all the work with a glass of wine in one hand and a brush in the other. Paint and Sip classes are the perfect first date idea as it is an activity that helps break the ice and stimulates conversation. By coming to a Paint Juicy session, we offer a much more upbeat experience than other paint and pour venues again, making those first date jitters disappear.

For a more intimate paint and sip date night, couples can now do a virtual online Paint and Sip class at home where you can have all the drinks you like while chilling at home. It is a bit different to our live sessions, it is a great chance to spice it up and have a quiet night together.

 

Date Night Cooking Class

What better way to start the night than challenging each other in a cook-off in a date night cooking class locally on the Gold Coast? Couples have a chance to prepare a few courses and at the end, sit down with vino in hand to enjoy their creations. A cook-off is ideal for people who cook dinner together, and the competition could spice things up in more ways than one.

To turn up the stakes, prepare a challenge for every meal cooked and make sure to make it difficult for the other half to do so, preventing them from doing better at cooking. Through a cycle of a few dishes, couples should enjoy the long night with a happy stomach.

• Tamborine Mountain Cooking School
• Double Zero in Broadbeach
• Salt Meats Cheese in Surfers Paradise
