1. Visit a pumpkin patch
Plan a pumpkin patch date and pick out pumpkins to carve together afterwards! You can pick out a few mini pumpkins for your windowsills at home or for stacking on your front porch.
Tip: Take cute photos when you’re there. Check out my Pinterest board for pumpkin patch photo ideas.
2. Go Apple Picking
Head to a cute farm and wander hand in hand down the rows of apple trees. Fill a basket with delicious apples picked right off the tree (tastes so good), and finish off the day getting apple cider donuts and warm cider!
Tip: Try making salted caramel apple pie bars using the apples you picked.
3. Go to Oktoberfest
Lots of breweries or towns hold Oktoberfest festivals. These festivals can have stein (traditional beer mug) holding competitions, great traditional food, and a laid back atmosphere. Although a festival might not be cozy in the stay at home and cuddle way, sometimes changing the scenery can make you feel appreciative of the cozy days to come. Grab a table and sit back and relax while enjoying a beautiful fall day.
Tip: Some Oktoberfest’s encourage you to dress up for the occasion! Check out before you go and dress up in matching colors.
4. Take a Scenic Drive To See Fall Foliage
Bring hot cider in a thermos, your favorite fall snacks, and chase the fall colors.

5. Enjoy a cozy cafe date
There’s something so comforting about having a lazy Sunday and getting warm lattes together at a cafe. Enjoy getting out of the house and chatting over your favorite drinks. It’s a simple way to slow down and savor the fall season.
6. Browse a farmers market
On a crisp fall morning, head to a local farmers market and grab a warm drink. Shop for seasonal produce, get a baked treat, and head back home to cook a delicious fall inspired breakfast together.
7. Bake fall treats together On A Rainy Day
If you need another stay at home idea, try baking together on a rainy day. Spend a cozy day baking pumpkin bread or cookies. Put on a fall jazz playlist in the background, and enjoy a day together doing a hands-on activity.
Tip: Try baking my pumpkin bread recipe!
8. Set Up A Cozy Fall Movie Night
Some activities don’t even require leaving the house! Make your space special by getting cozy blankets, light some fall candles, bake cookies, get your favorite snacks, warm apple cider, and pick out a movie. Spend the evening in a cozy atmosphere with your loved one.

9. Plan A Weekend Getaway In A Cozy Cabin
Rent a lakeside cabin or a cabin surrounded by peaceful forest, either way it’ll be a true peaceful getaway. Bring ingredients to roast smore’s, hike in the mornings, and curl up by a fire in the evening.
10. Sip seasonal beers at a brewery
Head to a brewery for a causal vibe. During the fall, lots of brewers try their hand at pumpkin, apple, or other fall flavored beer. Make it a relaxed date and bring cards or a board game (some breweries have games that you can borrow). If they have a beer garden and it’s a nice fall day, head outside to catch some sunshine.
11. Explore a historic lighthouse
Try something new this fall and go exploring! Lighthouses have a charm and picturesque way about them, especially set against autumn leaves. Some historic lighthouses have tours available, which is perfect for learning something new and experiencing it together.
12. Stargaze
The sky during the fall starts getting clear and crisp, which is perfect for stargazing. Most of the bugs (like mosquitoes, ugh) have started to disappear which makes it a lot easier to lay outside at night. Grab a blanket, or even lay on the back/in the trunk of your car. If you aren’t feeling quite up to being outside, you can look through a sunroof of your car (if you have one) or find an observatory near you.
Tip: Figure out your camera settings to capture the night sky with long exposure! Some phones have “night sky” settings that is perfect for capturing photos on the milky way. For the best photos, try to find a location that’s dark and away from any city lights.
13. Get breakfast at a cozy cafe
Begin your cozy fall day with a yummy breakfast from a local cafe. Order the seasonal option or try a new drink like a chai latte, pumpkin spice latte, or apple cider. Enjoy watching the views out of the window and a chance to slow down and have a meaningful chat over a warm breakfast.
I hope this list brings you some inspiration and excitement for the fall season! A new season means new experiences and sharing them with a significant other can be a great way to connect.
