The White Horse Tavern Dreamy dinners
Picnic by the lake
Nothing beats dining en plein air, being at one with nature, and each other. Assemble a romantic picnic from one of our many gourmet shops in town and don’t forget the Sweeets and vino. Pick a quiet spot beside Lake Waramaug or the Shepaug river, and voila!
Spa aah!
Try an unforgettable shared experience. Choose from a long menu of soothing spa treatment for two at the Mayflower Inn. Surrounded by 58 bucolic acres in the heart of Washington, this serene spa is known for its luxurious pampering for guests. Another relaxing destination is the Byrde + the b, where you can enjoy hair, skin, and nail treatments.
Cue the music
Music and romance go together like Rogers and Astaire. Romantic garden concerts, a table for two with music serenading at Hopkins Vineyard, a live band at The Owl Wine & Food Bar – all to be had in Washington. Or enjoy a musical or dance performance together to refresh your creative spirit.
Bottle of red
Everything is better with wine. Experience the tasting room at Hopkins Vineyard, enjoy the candlelit terrace at The Owl Wine & Food Bar or uncork a special bottle from the wine cellar at The Tap Room. We take our wine seriously in Washington.
A special treat
Our world-class shopping is not to be missed. The finely curated shops of New Preston and Washington Depot offer unique finds; you’ll surely uncover the perfect gift for your special someone.
