1. Do a Food and Wine Taste Trail Day Tour Around Bellarine Peninsula
If you’re both a foodie and both lovers of good wine, then doing a Food and Wine Taste Trail Tour is a perfect match. Taste the produce from some of the best food, beer and wine locations near Melbourne and visit two regions, the Mornington and Bellarine Peninsulas, and call it a great day.
2. Go on a wine tour in Yarra Valley
Another one for lovers of good cheese and wine- this Yarra Valley Wine Tour from Melbourne is the best bang for your buck. Visit three award-winning wineries in Yarra Valley, and end your day with some handcrafted chocolate at the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie. That sounds like a perfect day doesn’t it?
3. Enjoy spectacular views at Grampians National Park
If you and your date are outdoor enthusiasts and don’t mind getting a sweat in- spend the day away from the city and one with nature by doing a day tour at the Grampians National Park. Immerse yourself in nature at MacKenzie Falls, Silverband Falls and Boroka Lookout. Fresh air and breathtaking views await you both.
4. Spend twilight hour at the 12 Apostles
Sunset and chocolate? What a combo. The Great Ocean Road is one of the most scenic spots in all of Australia, so seeing this place never gets old, and is always a pleasant sight. Imagine walking by the beach with your date as the sun sets, walking hand in hand, enjoying the great view and each other’s company. Seems like a scene from a movie! The best part? You’ll also visit the Chocolaterie and Ice Creamery. Sweet, sweet day.
5. Enjoy a dip at Mornington Peninsula's relaxing pools
How does a hot pool, a mineral pool and a Turkish steam bath sound to you? If a relaxing, easy date is what you’re after, then this one would be a great choice. After enjoying a dip at Peninsula's relaxing pools, you’ll be treated to a delicious lunch at the Green Olive restaurant, and do a wine-tasting experience at a local farmgate. You’ll end your day on a high on one of the gondolas at the Arthur Seat Eagle enjoying the peace and quiet of being away from the city.
6. Have a romantic stroll along Squeaky Beach after hiking
This is the ultimate adventure for nature lovers- you’ll go bushwalking, sightseeing, birdwatching, and native animals spotting all in one day. On top of that you’ll hike to see stunning great views at Lily Pilly Gully, Mt Oberon, and Mt Bishop. If you and your date are after an action-packed day then this one’s your match.
7. Go on a coffee tour around Melbourne
Melbourne and coffee will always be a good idea. Budding coffee connoisseurs or even simply just lovers of great coffee will love this tour for a date idea. You’ll surely get your caffeine fix- from 4 cups of coffee to be exact, and you’ll also hear about the city’s coffee culture from crop to cup through your coffee expert guide! If you also want to meet new people who share the same interest in coffee, then go for this one!
8. Travel back in time in Sovereign Hill
History buffs will enjoy this place as you’ll get to walk through the town that “brings the gold rushes to life through a living township with diggings, underground mines, costumed characters, coach rides and 1850s shops, trades, schools and dwellings.”
Sovereign Hill is considered to be one of the best outdoor museums out there so definitely check it out.
9. Take a hot air balloon flight above Yarra Valley
Are you going for an unforgettable date idea? Imagine the thrill of ascending hundreds of feet up in the air and gliding over the changing landscapes of Yarra Valley-- now that’s unbeatable! Need to rent a car? We got chu!
10. Enjoy 360-degree panoramic views of Melbourne at the Observation Wheel
After having dinner in the city, why not take your date up the Observation Wheel and enjoy the stunning sights of Melbourne as the sun sets and as the city's glittering night lights take over? Now that sounds like the perfect nightcap to a great date!
