Valentines Day Date Night Ideas in Fort Worth, TX

Valentine’s Day brings the opportunity to take your date out and show them around town in your new Hyundai from Hiley Hyundai of Fort Worth.

We’ve included something for everyone on our list, no matter if you’re a traditionalist or looking for a new adventure. All you have to do is pick up the phone or send an email to make your reservations and surprise your date with a fun night out on the town.

Gondola Adventures on the Mandalay Canal at Las Colinas

Gondola by Steve Parker is licensed with CC BY 2.0.

You don’t have to travel to Venice, Italy, for a romantic gondola ride. Instead, all you have to do is head over to Irving, Texas, and meet up with Gondola Adventures on the Mandalay Canal. Once you’re sitting on the gondola, you’ll begin a tour of the canal, then you’ll head out to Lake Carolyn for an unforgettable experience. Be warned, however, as there are multiple passes under bridges, and the gondolier encourages you to kiss your partner when sailing underneath.

Gondola Adventures offers a selection of cruises that include a meal that’s consumed during the tour. The tours themselves last anywhere from one to two hours, and most give you the option to customize the food and drink you’d like to consume. The company can also accommodate personal requests such as supplying certain beverages and making sure an item is in place as long as the request is made far enough in advance.

Dude, Sweet Chocolate

Skip the chain chocolate shops, even the luxury brands, and head over to Dude, Sweet Chocolate instead. Chocolatier Katherine Clapper makes chocolates that push the envelope of chocolate and flavor combinations further than you could ever imagine. She brings 20 years of experience as a pastry chef to the art of making fine chocolate in flavors you didn’t think could possibly work together. All products are made using quality ingredients and simple recipes to let the flavors shine through.

You’ll find chocolate products available in different formats, including chocolate granola, which is more chocolate than granola; chocolate bark, known as crack in a box; and chocolate bars with names that include the Pony Boy, Bam Bam bar, and Pebbles Chai bar. There’s also a delicious oddity known as the chocolate salami made from marzipan, figs, date paste, and Ecuadorian dark chocolate. Valentine’s Day gifts will also be available, but the products aren’t posted until the date draws near.

Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek

Valentine’s Day is a good reason to enjoy a staycation at a luxury hotel to get pampered and escape from it all. The Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek delivers this and more with its beautiful setting in a historic 1920s Spanish Colonial-style mansion.

The rooms feature a quiet elegance that feels more like a private residence than a hotel room, yet you’ll find that you won’t have to lift a finger to enjoy a break from reality with your partner. Consider reserving a suite and gain access to amenities that help you create an experience that neither of you will forget.

As with any hotel stay, make sure you make your reservations far enough in advance to guarantee a room. Round out your stay with a meal at the Mansion Restaurant for fine dining. The restaurant features American dishes with French influences, and the menu changes on a regular basis. It also won the 2022 Best of Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator for its spectacular wine cellar.

Bowl & Barrel

Bowl & Barrel takes the bowling alley and transforms it into a place where you want to bowl, relax, enjoy yourself, and have fun. The brick-and-wood vintage interior of the alley invites you to slow down, bowl some frames, and enjoy refined takes on traditional bowling alley fare. It’s a great place to take your date for Valentine’s Day and makes a change from the usual places.

You may prefer to visit Bowl & Barrel for the food alone. Its menu contains delights that include a chicken apple club, bacon burger, meat and cheese and pretzel boards, a dog pile featuring butcher shop hot dogs, and tater tots with toppings that change daily. Wash these delightful treats down with your choice of national or local beer, or select something from the wine menu. Mocktails are also available.

Vetro Glassblowing Studio

Vetro Glassblowing Studio and Fine Art Gallery is located in Grapevine near the DFW Metroplex. The studio offers holiday-themed classes throughout the year, and Valentine’s Day is on the calendar. You and your partner can take a glass-blowing class together to make a heart pendant or flower. The studio also holds a Hot Date Night between Feb. 10 and 14, 2023. When it comes to doing something unique and interesting for Valentine’s Day, the art of making glass objects can’t be beaten.

Check the website prior to registering for a class to ensure you get a spot. Remember that you’re working with molten glass, which means you need to dress appropriately. The studio will provide you with further instructions after you register. Make sure to put safety first to have a good time, make a unique piece of art, and come home in one piece.
