5 Couple-friendly WNC Adventures: Must-Try Experiences for Lovebirds

When your love language is adventure (with a side of champagne and back rubs), Western North Carolina serves it up on a silver platter—with mountain views, hot springs, and more cozy corners than we know what to do with.

Whether you’re new lovers, long-time partners, or just trying to flirt your way through another romantic weekend, here are 5 must-try couple-friendly adventures to set your hearts (and playlists) on fire.

1. Soak Together at Hot Springs Resort & Spa

   📍 Hot Springs, NC

   There’s something undeniably intimate about soaking in a private tub by the river with the person you adore. Surrounded by forest and steaming mineral water, Hot Springs Resort offers private hot tubs with serene views and no distractions—except each other.

   Siren’s tip: Go at sunset. Bring champagne. Thank me later.

   Star’s move: Whisper sweet nothings. Or dramatic monologues. Either works here.

   
   

2. Chase Waterfalls & Steal a Kiss at Looking Glass Falls

   📍 Pisgah National Forest

   Is it cliché to make out by a waterfall? Absolutely. Are we doing it anyway? Always.

   Looking Glass Falls is one of the most accessible, breathtaking falls in WNC—and it's practically made for couples. Take a photo, steal a kiss, maybe write a poem. Just don't drop your phone in the water.

   
   

3. Go Candlelit & Classy with a Chef’s Tasting at Cúrate

   📍 Downtown Asheville

   This isn’t just dinner—it’s a culinary seduction. Cúrate’s Spanish tapas and wine list are a full-on sensory experience. Share plates, exchange forkfuls, lock eyes over grilled octopus. It's giving... anniversary night.

   Pro move: Ask for the sommelier’s pick. Let them sweep you off your feet, too.

   
   

4. Hike & Cuddle on Max Patch

   📍 Near Hot Springs / Harmon Den

   Max Patch is a mountain bald that offers sweeping 360-degree views—ideal for sunrise cuddles, picnic blankets, and those slow, quiet moments where nothing else exists but the wind and your person.

   Bring: A blanket, a thermos, and zero cell service.

   Leave with: Killer photos and a deeper connection.

   
   

5. Take a LaZoom Comedy Tour & Laugh Til You Lean In

   📍 Downtown Asheville

   Because sometimes the sexiest thing is shared laughter. LaZoom’s haunted or comedy tours are irreverent, raunchy, and unexpectedly intimate. Sip a drink, hold your partner’s hand, and laugh like it’s your first date again.

   Warning: You will be heckled. If you’re lucky, together.
