DateNights

Date Ideas for Couples

When we first moved to Cumming every date night meant we drove into Atlanta or Alpharetta. But over the last few years we have discovered there are plenty of fun things to do in Forsyth County. So we have put together a list for you. Hope this will help you on your date nights! Saving gas money by staying local is always a great plan!

1. Dinner and a Movie: Personally, we sometimes forget about the movies. There is usually something good playing and it’s an entertaining night out. Be sure to check out our readers poll on the best place to eat a romantic dinner. If you choose to just go to dinner and not a movie, there are plenty of great local restaurants to choose from!

2. Good Ole Days or The Ridge: Both of these places have fun evening activities and specials. Sometimes they are listed on our calendar. But you can also connect with each of the restaurants directly: Good Ole Days | The Ridge

3. Have a picnic: With the weather so nice lately, this would be wonderful. Grab a sub from Publix or make your own meal at home, then head over to one of our parks for a picnic lunch or dinner. Here is a list of our Forsyth County Parks and Playgrounds.

4. Fairgrounds: Sometimes there are events going on at the Cumming Fairgrounds. Check their website to see what’s on the schedule.

5. Wine Tasting: Talk of the Table does an excellent job on their wine tastings. Check their schedule by visiting their Facebook page. Also, right around the corner is Grub Burger, which makes a great date night dinner!

6. Take a Painting Class: We love to do painting classes together. There are great options through Tipsy Da Vinci at Vickery Village and Pinot’s Palette in Johns Creek. Be sure to check out their schedule and sign up for one!

As always you can check our calendar to see what is happening around Forsyth during the week or weekend.

Disclosure – These are some of our suggestions for date nights in Forsyth County. We always recommend checking with the place of interest before visiting. We would hate for you to get somewhere and they aren’t open or aren’t doing the event you thought.
