Best Places For a Date Night in Danville

With Valentine’s Day is coming up in a month, it’s time to start thinking about gifts, and an awesome date night idea. There is only one day a year when you officially get to celebrate your partner, so you want to make it count.

To help you along, here are some of the best options for a date night in Danville.

Wining and dining

The classic date. Take your partner out to a nice restaurant and treat yourselves to some great food, dessert, and wine. Great for old and new couples alike – you can talk as you dine, or quietly enjoy each other’s company. Popular options include Danville Harvest, Locanda Ravello, and The Peasant & The Pear, Auburn Lounge, Incantro, or The Vine & Spirits.

Watch a movie

A movie night is a great idea for a lazy date during winter. Sit back and immerse yourself in the movie’s plot for an hour while you munch on snacks. Netflix is convenient, sure, but it’d be a bit of a stretch to call it romantic. You can watch the latest movies at Century Blackhawk Plaza, Regal Crow Canyon Stadium 6, The LOT – City Center, and Cinemark Walnut Creek.

Go shopping

Head out for a day of good ole’ window-shopping and store-hopping. Check out new businesses, get great deals, try out clothes before you buy them, and head back home with bags full of awesome new stuff! Amazon might deliver your stuff for free, but sitting hunched in front of your computer isn’t half as fun. Take your pick between Downtown Danville, Bishop Ranch in San Ramon, or The Blackhawk Plaza.

Livermore Wineries

We are lucky to live in close proximity to the wineries, they usually have live music and much more! Some favorites are; Wente, Murrietta’s Well, Retzlaff Vineyards, and Fenestra Winery.

Whether you opt for the old familiarity of a meal at a restaurant, or the novelty of quietly watching the setting sun, remember that the goal of the evening is to spend quality time with your partner. Take the time to thank them, and tell them what they mean to you.
