Plan the perfect date night in Amish Country
When it comes to date night, what kind of couple are you? Fine dining and local wines? Or homestyle cooking, burgers and brews?
Will we find you cozying up in the village coffee shop? Or throwing axes in the name of love. (Yes, it’s a date night thing.)
And let’s talk about overnight accommodations. Do you book the quaint log cabin in the woods? Or discover just how romantic a shipping container can be?
In Ohio Amish Country, all of the above are on the table. So whether you’re coming for the traditional or to try something new, we want to help take the pressure off of date night. From wineries and restaurants to art and shopping, Ohio Amish Country offers endless ways for you and your special someone to get away and reconnect.
Here are a few ideas to get you started.
Dinner and Wine For Two
Indulge in a romantic Valentine's Day dinner on Feb. 17 at Baltic Mill Winery. Sip on champagne punch during the appetizer hour and then delight in a sumptuous meal. Enjoy live music by Abraham James and savor the perfect pairing of wine with your food in this beautifully renovated historic flour mill.
The Cider Press in Millersburg is also a great choice for couples who want to sample local foods in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. This downtown restaurant believes that every meal should be a celebration of life, and is dedicated to providing a dining experience that is both delicious and memorable.
Several evenings this month, The Cider Press will be hosting a special Valentine’s Day dinner featuring four delicious courses. Tickets include a bottle of wine or cider to pair with your meals.
On weekends, be sure to check out the live music lineup at Hans’ Place. This wine manufacturing facility and tasting room features Swiss Heritage Winery wines and a full menu. Or for the ultimate romantic getaway, take our three-day Amish Country wine tour.
If you’re looking for something a little more casual, the Millersburg Brewing Company offers delicious pub grub and a taproom featuring local and craft beers. And before you head out the next morning, Rebecca’s Bistro in Walnut Creek is a great choice for perfectly-prepared breakfast favorites.
