The Tri-Valley region of California is known for its rolling hills, scenic parks, charming towns, and picturesque vineyards. Looking for a romantic getaway this season? Tri-Valley is Northern California’s hidden gem, perfect for couples looking to relax, rejuvenate, or explore. From wine tasting and award-winning dining to hiking trails and spa retreats, it has everything for a memorable escape. Discover special activities to enjoy with your partner this season of love.
ENJOY THE SCENARY
Hiking dates are great because it’s a virtually free activity, they’re super personal, and they usually lead to gorgeous and romantic viewpoints. Tri-Valley is the perfect place to spend the day outdoors, whether it’s at our lakes or on our mountains. Pack up for a picnic, spend the day exploring Mt. Diablo, or head to Lake Del Valle to catch a beautiful sunset.
RIDE THE LIVERMORE WINE TROLLEY
A ride on the Livermore Wine Trolley is the perfect way to experience the Tri-Valley with your partner. Sip and savor award-winning wines as the trolley winds through scenic vineyards and charming Downtown Livermore – an unforgettable journey filled with romance, laughter, and beautiful views.
WINE TASTING
If you need a good excuse to spend the whole day with someone, take your date wine tasting in the Tri-Valley. There are nearly 60 wineries in the Livermore Valley Wine Country, and if everything goes smoothly, you and your date can try visiting all of them eventually. If you want to be guided, the Livermore Wine Trolley will take you to three wineries (tastings included), provide you lunch at one of the stops, and even lets you take home a commemorative glass.
REST & RELAXATION
If your idea of vacation is relaxation, visit Purple Orchid Resort & Spa for a rejuvenating couples massage. Join their Couples Massage Class for a two-hour hands-on instruction with a licensed massage professional and take your new skills home with you. Stay the night and book a room at their lodge, which includes access to their outdoor pool, hot tub and other wine country amenities.
CRUISE AROUND LAKE DEL VALLE
What’s more romantic than a boat tour? Bring your first mate and board a free boat tour of Lake Del Valle provided by East Bay Regional Park District. Tours start at 1pm every Saturday & Sunday from July 4 through September 6. This hour and a half cruise around the lake will cover the history of the lake as well as the wildlife that resides in and around it.
