Asheville Date Night Itinerary: Galentine's Day

Start your Galentine’s Day with ultimate pampering at The Spa at Omni Grove Park Inn. Unwind with spa treatments or enjoy serene amenities like mineral pools and eucalyptus steam rooms. Afterward, savor a light, delicious lunch at the Spa Café, where healthy, flavorful options complete the wellness experience.

Unleash your inner DIY spirit at Board & Brush Creative Studio, where you and your friends can sip, paint and create. Design farmhouse-classic décor pieces for your home or office while learning professional techniques in a fun and supportive atmosphere. This February, pre-register for their popular DIY workshop using the code EXPLOREBBAVL to take $15 off your project.

Toast to friendship at Botanist & Barrel, the South’s only natural cidery. Enjoy wild, unfiltered ciders and wines crafted from organic fruits, and explore their unique offerings that blend old-world techniques with modern flavors. This February, bring a friend and you'll both get an extra pour in your flight, making your tasting experience even more special.

End your day with a Mediterranean-inspired dinner at Bargello, located in the Kimpton Hotel Arras. Enjoy fresh hand-rolled pasta, house-made bread, and innovative cuisine in a stunning setting with floor-to-ceiling windows and an open-fire pizza hearth. If your Galentine’s celebration happens to fall on Valentine’s Day proper, gather your friends for a special four-course prix fixe menu for $99 per person, with an optional wine pairing for $50 per person, available from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM. It’s a delightful way to toast friendship and enjoy a memorable evening filled with elegance and flavor.

Located in the same hotel as Bargello, District 42 is an all-day bar and lounge in downtown Asheville. Known for its shareable plates and unique cocktails, it’s the perfect place to cap off your Galentine’s celebration. On Thursday, February 13th, District 42 is hosting a Galentine's Day event from 6–10 PM. Join the fun with live music by Hot Bread Selectors, permanent jewelry from Sparked with Love, and Girl Dinner specials like dirty martinis, Caesar salads, and French fries.
