August is Romance Awareness Month, which means it’s time to turn up the heat (and not just because we’re in Texas). Whether you’re falling for someone new or keeping the spark alive with your long-time love, Waco has plenty of dreamy ways to remind your sweetheart just how much they mean to you. Check out some of our favorite date ideas to add some extra romance to your August.
1) Uncork Romance at a Wine Bar~ Cheers to Love
Nothing says “we’re fancy now” like a wine date. Waco has some truly fantastic wine bars that are perfect spots to uncork some romance with your sweetheart. We love Segovia Wine Bar, The Grape, and Song Bird Wine & Charcuterie Bar. No matter which wine bar you pick, this is a smooth way to elevate any weeknight into a grape love story.
2) Activity Date Fun~ Couples Who Play Together, Stay Together
Don’t let your dates get boring and stale. Activity dates are a great way to add some extra fun and adventure to your romance. We love the fun at Waco Axe Company, Waco Escape Rooms, Waco Rage Room, and Waco Surf. Get out there and have some fun together!
3) Craft Some Romance~ Artsy Allure
We love a craft date! It’s a great way to make some memories together while also making a craft to take home with you. We love getting artsy at Hammer & Stain, Practically Pikasso, and Black Oak Art Studio. Pick a project (or two) and have a great time making your masterpiece(s).
4) Book a Baecation~ Getaway for a Little Romance
A baecation is a great way to add some extra romance to your relationship. Want to stay in Waco, we don’t blame you! Book a romantic stay at Hotel Herringbone, Hotel 1928, or Pivovar Hotel. Or check out a cozy bed & breakfast or guest house. We love the Hymnsinger House, Bed & Breakfast on White Rock Creek, The Morrow House, and Casa Kumwesu. If you want to get out of Waco and go on an adventure, plan a baecation to one of our other Texas Romantic Spots like Austin, Houston, Fredericksburg, Fort Worth, San Antonio, or Galveston.
Romance isn’t just a feeling, it’s an action. So whether you’re planning a grand gesture or a simple moment that makes their heart skip, Waco has all the swoon-worthy spots you need to make August unforgettable. Take the time, make the effort, and show your person just how lucky you are to love (and be loved) in this beautiful city. Now go out there and make August a month of romance!
