Plan an Experiential Date
Spend time together with one of these perfectly planned outings:
Champagne and Caviar Tastings
Champagne and caviar go together almost as well as you and your Valentine. Find intimate luxury at Steak 48 or rooftop garden vibes at RH Rooftop, where you can order a sampling of caviar and pop a bottle to celebrate your romantic night out.
Plan a Progressive Dining Experience
Take your taste buds on a tour and discover the many flavors of SouthPark with a progressive dining experience. The best part? You don't even need to walk or re-park your car, thanks to free rides the SouthPark Skipper. Learn how to plan the perfect progressive dining experience in the neighborhood.
Go on a Sweet Treat Tour
Nothing says "I love you" like pastries. Similar to a progressive dining experience but better, thanks to butter and sugar, go on a tour of SouthPark's beloved bakeries. Start with quiche and coffee at Renaissance Patisserie, then head to Copain for the most excellent croissants or creme brûlée donut. Then, end your tour at Tous Les Jours for Japanese inspired breads or Chez Marie for melt in your mouth macrons.
Wine Tasting with a Twist
We bet you've never tried wine like this. DTR SouthPark hosts Blind Flight Night every Tuesday evening, where you can sample three different mystery wines while blindfolded. Served alongside a complimentary charcuterie board, challenge your date to see who can correctly identify the offerings.
