Welcome to fall, a beautiful and truly romantic season perfect for some cute fall date ideas! Fall is the perfect time to fall in love, start a new relationship or nurture an existing or long-term relationship! I know for myself I had tons of cute date night ideas from time to time, then the moment we plan a date night I usually go blank! If you’re like me, and no worries if you are, then I hope this list of cute fall first date ideas is helpful for you! These are perfect for a new couple, or a couple just looking to refresh their date ideas with some cute fall activities for couples!
Let’s dive into fall seasonal date ideas!
Apple Picking
A fall classic if I do say so myself, going apple picking! This date idea is a great way to get outdoors, enjoy the fall foliage and get a nice treat (and memories) that you can take away after the date. Whether it’s hot apple cider, a homemade pie, a fresh bundle of apples, or memories from a hayride these are all perfect to help you get your fill of fall and enjoy time with your partner.
You can get creative and add a challenge of who can pick the most Instagram-worthy apple, who can pick the most apples or you can take your time and pick the apples casually between conversation and strolling down the apple tree rows in the orchid. Either way, it’s super cute and you’re likely to enjoy spending a morning or afternoon on this casual date while getting to know each other.
Fall Fair as Cute Fall Date Ideas
Checking out a local fall fair is a great way to spend time together in a casual and fun environment. This is perfect as a first date as it allows lots of different options of activities while learning about each other.
A fall fair date can also be a simple double date, or first date idea with a group of couples. It allows for a casual conversation, which is great for a first date where you’re learning about the other individual (and deciding if there will be a second date). Fall fairs can include amusement rides, animal zoos, derby races, craft shows, entertainment, amusement park games, and even a haunted house! This could make a cute day date idea or a romantic date night in the evening.
Corn Maze
Love a challenge? A corn maze might be the perfect first date for you! A corn maze is one of the most popular cute fall dates ideas as it’s simple, easy, and fun as a couple. This allows you to spend time together, solve challenges and puzzles together and show your (friendly) competitive side. When you complete the corn maze it’s an incredible feeling and sharing that on a date with someone else is truly a romantic idea. You can also add to this date by enjoying some warm beverages after the corn maze or attending a pumpkin patch. As we get farther into fall the sun begins to set earlier so be sure to go earlier than dusk for this autumn date to ensure you’re enjoying your time together, and not getting too spooked with an after-dark corn maze!
Candle Making Workshop
One of the first things I think of when it comes to fall is candles, they scream fall to me and who doesn’t love a good candle? Candles can help turn a nice evening into a romantic evening and can also be great to burn on a casual weekend at home.
Making a candle together as a couple is a cute date idea if things go well in the relationship, you can burn and use the candle together! Local makers and candle shops often offer workshops that include candle making, or you can buy your own DIY Candle Making Kit and make a candle together as a couple. This is a fun fall date night as it allows you both to be as creative as you would like, you can have fun learning and figuring out challenges and celebrating the successes of your DIY candle! This date idea can also be a cute winter date idea as well!
Looking for a way to turn up the romance? Add some rose or vanilla essential oil, including dried flowers, or decorate your jar with hearts and romantic graphics, and stickers! You can make 1 to share a couple or make a candle for each other as a sweet way to remember your first date. My favorite is soy candles – learn more about them here!
Winery Tour for Cute Fall Date Ideas
A winery tour (or multiple) is a great way to get to know someone in a no-pressure kind of environment. Wine tours mainly consist of learning about the winery, its history, and how the wine is made and produced from their fields. Once concluded then you can enjoy some of the wine, and maybe some of the food they serve and have a casual conversation. This is a very structured date that can be attractive to those wanting simple first date ideas for autumn dates and is a great idea for a blind date where you don’t know the individual at all.
This is a romantic date idea as you can enjoy the beautiful fall foliage of the fields while also enjoying some lovely wines and possibly finding a new favourite? If wine is not your thing, check out a local brewery for a beer tour.
Fall Hike
Love the outdoors and getting outside and active in autumn. A fall hike might be perfect for your first date and for cute fall date ideas! This is a great idea if you want to spend time getting to know each other and you’re ready to spend a good amount of quality time together. To prepare for this date you can find a local hiking route that you’re familiar with or enjoy and then take your date on a hike. Be sure to bring water, proper footwear, and snacks to help you remain fueled and hydrated throughout the hike.
Please remember safety during this date, and ensure you go with multiple couples or friends if this is the first time, you’re meeting this individual.
