Northwest Arkansas provides some spectacular romantic getaway destinations that you and your loved one can explore. Treat yourselves to an unforgettable experience in the beautiful Ozarks!

Here are a few ideas that are sure to please any couple planning a weekend getaway near Springdale.

1. Inn at the Mill

For a full weekend getaway package, Inn at the Mill is a fantastic choice. It’s one of the most aesthetically beautiful inns or hotels in the area, and a quick tour around the grounds shows why. 

The Mill is on the National Register of Historic Places and has a colorful past. The Mill’s namesake turns on the broad side of the building, giving it an antiquated charm. The Ozark flora gives the Mill a secluded, natural air.

The rooms are unforgettably designed. They embody Southern charm but bring it into the new age. After you and your date have checked in, you can dine at the award-winning, gourmet restaurant. During the day, there are plenty of sights and attractions in Springdale to keep you busy. 

2. Sassafras Springs Vineyard

Sassafras Springs Vineyard is a popular venue for celebrations and a frequent destination for visitors.

Stop by the tasting room, which is in a completely renovated dairy barn. Though the cows are gone, the tasting room still speaks of its past while bringing an elegant and pleasurable experience to visitors. 

Enjoy wines from all over the world or straight from the vines outside. Sassafras produces syrah, chardonnay, rose, riesling, and more. There’s nothing like sitting on one of the decks and watching the sunset as you enjoy a glass of wine. Be sure you make a dinner reservation before, or you can always walk-in and get a charcuterie and fromage board.

Sassafras’ premises are beautiful in and of themselves. Take a walk to see the hints of the vineyard and winery’s humble beginnings. The chapel ruins are especially beautiful and make a great spot for celebrations such as weddings.

3. Theo’s

If you’re looking for a fine dining experience on your weekend getaway, look no further than Theo’s in Fayetteville. 

The menu is full of gastronomic experiences that you can’t find just anywhere. Seared swordfish, braised lamb, duck, mussels — Theo’s has a menu that will please any appetite. It also has a separate lounge and happy hour menus to choose from. 

Are you good on dinner?  Stop by Theo’s for a signature cocktail or an ice-cold beer. It has a cocktail list that covers all the classic drinks — such as Tom Collins, mules, and pisco sours — as well as its own concoctions. This restaurant also prides itself on its full wine list. 

This is a great destination for foodie couples who love great dishes and crafted drinks. It’s also a great spot to celebrate through the night and have some fun.

As you drive around the area, be open to new experiences. These are just a few of the great locations where you’re sure to have a pleasurable romantic weekend. Safe travels!
