The second-best stress relief method for couples 👀 Get a crate full of old crockery and your choice of smash implement (baseball bat, sledgehammer or golf club) before going ham in a demolition safe space. Head into the splash room afterwards and chuck paint at the wall. Gifting this experience to your partner says “babe, let’s get those feelz out!”
This is the only cheesy date we will back 💯 Take your cheese game up a notch from cheap Woolies home brand brie to homemade bocconcini and burrata. They keep it boozy at this workshop with plenty of sparkly available for your drinking pleasure while learning the ins-and-outs of making gooey, oozy, creamy cheese from scratch.
Sailing on Sydney Harbour is the ultimate gift for a special occasion. Sail on the divine Harbour waters with a private skipper. Laze around while dinner, bedding and breakfast are all covered for you. FYI the skipper jets off your yacht after it’s anchored so you to enjoy one-on-one time 😉
Romantic vibes at home start with ambient lighting. Gift this to your partner and make your very own Turkish Mosaic Lamps, the perfect ambient lights to get love pumping in the air. Over the course of this workshop, you’ll learn all about this 500-year-old craft and even get Turkish tea and cookies to sip and snack on while practicing this meditative art.
Be warned, this isn’t like other Salsa dancing classes! Your instructor doubles as a mixologist, keeping you juiced up on mojitos, espresso martinis, margaritas or champagne. Loosen up together by gifting your Valentine this fiery, sensual and boozy date filled with passionate dancing.
Help your partner check off a bucket list item. Gift them a tandem skydive and experience the thrill of falling from 10 000 ft above sea level. The best part about going skydiving together is being able to cheer each other on. “Go on, JUMP!”
Gift your partner a chance to unwind. Your divine 3-hour session will include access to all venue facilities including a steam room, sauna, plunge pool and hydrotherapy spa followed by an hour-long float and deluxe spa treatment. Celebrate your special occasion by spending time together and relaxing.
Self-skipper an electric boat on Sydney Harbour’s surrounds. The best part is that you don’t need a boat license! These vessels are roomy enough to fit up to 8 guests (and a dog), so you can spend your special occasion with all of your homies. Pack a picnic and keep it cruisy.
Where there is wine there is love. That is why you should head to this winery in the city for special occasion— you’ll be keeping your celebrations of love local while getting the country experience. With the guidance of experts, you will blend your perfect red wine concoction whilst enjoying a cheese and charcuterie platter.

Macarons are a delightful French dessert— creamy ganache, sandwiched in two meringue cookies. A match made in heaven. Sound familiar? Spend your special occasion learning how to make them at this workshop before walking away with a whole box to enjoy, together. No cake necessary 😋
Like getting messy? This is the date night for you. Be guided by experts step-by-step as you and your partner get your hands dirty on the potter’s wheel, ignite fires in the kiln and glaze into each other's eyes. BYO your favourite bevvys as well!
Enjoy each other's company in a romantic picnic in an igloo. You read that right. Cozy up under an igloo style shelter in a space decked out with cushions and blankets to ensure your maximum comfort. Add on a grazing board or dessert box to make your special occasion truly special.
