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, Fredericksburg is full 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~ Wine Down Together
Fredericksburg is the place for a wine date with your sweetheart. Fredericksburg has some truly fantastic wineries, wine bars, and tasting rooms that are perfect spots to uncork some romance with your sweetheart. We love Sandy Road Vineyards, Messina Hof Hill Country, William Chris Vineyards, and Blumenthal Farms. No matter where you decide to wine down together, this is a smooth way to elevate any weeknight into a grape love story.
2) Spa-tacular Date~ Relax & Reconnect
You and your sweetheart deserve some TLC, so it’s time to book some services at one of our favorite spas. Relax together and let the professionals melt the stress away. Our favorite spas for a relaxing and reconnecting with your sweetheart are European Day Spa of Fredericksburg, Acacia Spa, and Above & Beyond Day Spa. Whether you are getting a couple’s massage, enjoying a luxurious facial, or reconnecting and rejuvenating with some aromatherapy, this is a date that you both will enjoy.
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 The Yellow Door Art Studio (for those who love a cooler, air conditioned date) and Enchanted Fredericksburg Glassblowing (for those who like to keep their date hot and maybe sweaty). 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 Fredericksburg, we don’t blame you! Book a romantic stay at The Trueheart Hotel, Hangar Hotel, or Inn on Barons Creek. Or check out a cozy bed & breakfast or guest house. We love The Menagerie, Onera, The Winchester Lodge, and Rose Hill Retreat. If you want to get out of Fredericksburg and go on an adventure, plan a baecation to one of our other Texas Romantic Spots like Austin, Houston, Waco, Fort Worth, San Antonio, or Galveston.

So whether you’re planning a grand gesture or a simple moment that makes their heart skip, Fredericksburg 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!
