A night out at the Candlelight Theatre

Food is the path to the heart, but the eyes are a window into the soul. So the secret is to eat while watching a spectacle! It has been said that The Candlelight Theatre is Delaware’s best-kept secret for a night of entertainment. They provide an all-inclusive evening of dinner and shows in a warm atmosphere. While musicals are their specialty, they also have other events like Comedy Night, offering patrons various opportunities to experience live Theatre.

Adventure at the Linvilla Orchards

Take a trip with your partner and tour the Linvilla Orchards! They house numerous activities like mini-golf, fishing, visiting the animals in the barnyard, or taking a hayride around the scenic fields and orchards. Bonus tip: make sure to not pass up the chance to try their legendary apple cider donuts! All in all, it’s a great way to have fun and discover new things. 

Wine tasting for two

It’s pretty hard to  go wrong with a wine tasting date (as long as you’re 21+). You get to break routine, taste many different wines, and learn while doing so. Penns Woods Winery provides an all-around vineyard experience and hosts live music, food and wine pairings, classes, and other exciting events for you and your date. And as a bonus, you can get an exquisite bottle of wine to celebrate getting your new apartment near the University of Maryland (wink wink, nudge nudge).

A romantic walk in the Longwood Gardens

Walking hand-in-hand with your significant other can be a powerfully romantic experience. You can go on for hours just listening to each other, sharing memories and thoughts, while getting in some exercise for good measure.

Check the list of gardens and blooming flowers on their website to see if you find anything you like and give yourselves some free time to enjoy nature and each other’s company.
