SATURDAY:

Some Alberta date ideas don’t need to be fancy

Many people come to Cochrane to enjoy our beautiful parks and outdoor spaces, and some of the best Alberta date ideas often include mountain views! 

If you’re craving a little fresh air and fun, block off some time to visit Mitford Park. The ice is maintained through the winter for perfect gliding. Hold hands and skate around the pond with your sweetheart for memories you’ll treasure. Don’t forget your mittens!

Toast to your future

Having someone special in your life should never be taken for granted. Take a moment to celebrate how much they mean to you, and make a toast to all the good things you’ll share in the future.

Need new ideas for a special bottle of wine or bubbly? Reserve seats for a wine tasting at Vinestone Wine Co. boutique retail wine and spirits specialty shop. You may just find a new favourite that can remind you of your romantic weekend away.

Book a cozy room away

Your home may be a sanctuary, but most of us must admit it’s often full of reminders of routines. Who can truly relax while tripping over those loads of laundry you’ve been meaning to fold since Thursday? Do yourselves a favour and book a room away for the night. 

If you’re looking for romantic things to do in Alberta, you’ll want relaxing accommodations that allow you both a break. Why not cozy up at The Crossing at Ghost River to relax and enjoy each other’s company without distraction?

SUNDAY:

Take time for pampering

Life is busy, and we often scurry through our weekends as though they were made for errands and chores. Not this weekend. It’s time to choose connection — and each other. A romantic weekend away full of the perfect Alberta date ideas should include some pampering.

Press pause on responsibilities and go for a treatment at The Cave Sauna and Day Spa, or book an appointment for pampering at The Haven Day Spa and Wellness Centre. The Haven is the only place in Cochrane you can book a couples massage!

Table for two? Yes, please!

Romantic dining in Cochrane, Alberta must include a special dinner for two at Flores & Pine to sample some of the most delicious dishes in town.

Will you choose a few items from the shareable selection or be tempted by something from their wood-fire and rotisserie menu? Perhaps one of their impressive “board” meals?
Be sure to peek at their dessert list. You only think you don’t have room, but trust us, it’ll be worth it. They can even suggest a dessert drink or wine pairing to make your evening more special.
