Rome, Italy
The eternal city is a goldmine of interesting places to visit both in the city and in the surrounding countryside. Stay in a local bed and breakfast and eat rich food while drinking potent Italian wines.

Take pictures and be sure to bring some of that romance home bottled up in your favorite local wine.
Aspen, Colorado
Work your way out of the cities and rent a cozy cottage or bungalow in Aspen. If you enjoy an active vacation, visit Aspen in the winter months. Bundle up in the warmest gear you have and ski or take snowmobiles out for a spin around in fresh powder. If you’d rather keep it low key, take a snowshoe hike through the winter forest and then drink some wine in front of a roaring fire or setting in together for a romantic hot tub soak to relax your sore muscles.
New York, New York
