Looking to escape with your special someone? I’ve found that Lexington, KY is one of those places where romance comes naturally. If you’re like me and love quiet getaways with just the right amount of charm, Lexington’s mix of horse country beauty, cozy inns, and scenic vineyards is perfect for reconnecting and slowing down together.

Highlights:

  • Wine taste and stroll the vines at Equus Run Vineyards—I’ve spent afternoons here sipping wine and walking hand in hand, and I think you’ll love the relaxed pace.
  • Stay at The Campbell House—every time I check in, I’m struck by how elegant and warm this boutique hotel feels. It’s perfect for a romantic night away.
  • Ride through historic downtown Lexington in a horse-drawn carriage—I’ve done this at sunset, and it made the whole evening feel like a scene from a movie.
  • Unwind with a couple’s spa day at The Spa at Griffin Gate Marriott—I always leave feeling refreshed, and I think you’ll love the pampering, too.
  • Drive along the Kentucky Bourbon Trail for scenic views and a perfect picnic stop—I’ve explored these rolling hills many times, and every trip feels like a fresh adventure.
