With cooler weather approaching, it’s time to explore the world of fall date night ideas. As a Nashville elopement photographer, I’m the biggest advocate for prioritizing your love post-elopement. Whether that’s by weekly date nights, regular movie nights, or even exploring new hobbies together – it’s about being together. You may think things get easier once you read your vows and start married life together. However, that’s when the real work begins. The excitement around being engaged and newly married fades, and real life sets in. These date night ideas throughout Nashville will help spark some excitement around planning time together and continuing to date one another.

Food & Drink Spots To Add To Your List of Fall Date Night Ideas

Arrington Vineyards

Suppose you want to escape the city and enter a state of relaxation—head to Arrington Vineyards. Located just 25 miles south of Nashville and open daily throughout the year, this spot makes for an incredibly romantic date night! Offering self-guided wine-tasting flights, delicious snacks, and tons of outdoor seating, it’s a great spot to cozy up and enjoy some incredible wine.

TailGate Brewery Headquarters

If you’re from Nashville, you’ve heard of this spot. TailGate Brewery is a local favorite and always fun for a night out. Every year, Tailgate puts out some of the coolest fall beers you’ll ever taste. Even for someone who doesn’t like beer (like me), they’re worth trying! I always find one that I like! TailGate organizes events throughout the year, keeping locals entertained and returning for more.

One of our favorites, Tempered Fine Chocolates, is next on my list of fall date night ideas. But not just for the chocolate!
