14 Fall Date Ideas in Lebanon That Will Have You Booed Up By Christmas
It’s cuffing season, so we wanted to make sure you’ve got a special someone by the time the holidays roll around. Save this compilation of fall date ideas and start planning some cute outings with your crush.
1. Take a road trip to the Bekaa and browse its autumn farmers’ market
This Sunday, Domaine de Taanayel is hosting a farmers’ market filled with seasonal produce (and lots of pumpkins). Even if you miss the souk this weekend, you can always try spotting the pumpkin stands that make fall in Bekaa so special.

2. Bike along the breathtaking Corniche Sawfar, one of Lebanon’s prettiest fall escapes
Name a more stunning fall destination in Lebanon than Corniche Sawfar. It’s the perfect way to welcome the season! You can rent a bike or go on a drive, take in the mountain scenery, and enjoy a little quality time together away from the city.
3. Coffee date? Go for a sahlab date instead
Sahlab over coffee any day. There are so many local spots that serve delicious sahlab, including Saida’s iconic Abou Zoheir Hankir. They’ve been serving up delicious treats since 1936, so you know their sahlab won’t disappoint.
4. Go on a scenic hike through El Ozer Forest in Kfardebian
Escape the city for a little fresh air and quality time together. El Ozer Forest in Kfardebian makes for a beautiful hiking date, with forest trails, gorgeous mountain scenery, and plenty of spots to pause and take in the views.
5. Or do it on horseback instead and uncover Ejdebrine
Tucked away in North Lebanon’s Ejdabrine, Meghwar Horse Stall lets you swap a hike for a horseback ride through scenic trails, rolling hills, and lush landscapes. If lots of exercise isn’t really your thing, this will do the trick.
6. Book an authentic pizza and pasta making workshop with Janis, The Cookroom
Trade your usual dinner plans for a little hands-on fun. At Janis‘s, you and your date can learn to make pizza and pasta from scratch, then enjoy the satisfaction of eating something you made yourselves. After all, Italian is the most romantic cuisine.
7. If you’re staying in Beirut, get artsy together before settling in for a comforting meal
Sign up for a pottery, painting, or other art workshop, then find a nearby restaurant for a proper meal. Our recommendation if you want to keep it casual: paint matching fall-themed mugs at Ceramic KANVAS, then head downstairs to chow down on The French Onion burger, Bunman’s onion soup-inspired burger of the month.
8. Or cozy up over a mouthwatering plate of ramen at East Village
Did you know that East Village serves the most delicious ramen? Arguably the best we’ve ever tried. Their dimly lit space makes it the perfect dinner date spot, but make sure you book ahead and ask for the ramen.
9. Try something new together, like Sogno’s pumpkin spice latte served in an actual pumpkin
The latest addition to their menu is keeping things interesting for the fall lovers. Sogno decided to spice up their pumpkin spice latte by serving it in an actual pumpkin. How cool is that? You can read all about it here.
10. But you can also rate pumpkin spice lattes from different places in Lebanon together
We actually have a compilation of all the spots around Lebanon serving up mouthwatering pumpkin spice lattes. If that so happens to be you and your date’s favorite fall drink, then this is your excuse to have multiple dates and rate pumpkin spice lattes around Lebanon.

11. Keep it simple with a trip to Cafe Des Cedres in Bcharre
You can never go wrong with a scenic spot like Cafe Des Cedres in Bcharre. It’s a good excuse to spend a few hours away from the usual Beirut routine and enjoy a slower afternoon together.
12. Sip vino and take in the views at Iris Domain in Btalloun
A wine-tasting date with a view? Count us in. You can settle in with a glass, sample some Lebanese wines, and enjoy the surrounding landscape. It doesn’t require much planning, but you make the most out of your date.
13. Enjoy the beautiful harvest season at Adonis Valley in Fitri
Adonis Valley is especially worth exploring during harvest season, when you can get a closer look at the work behind its local produce. Spend some time exploring the property and pick up a few local goodies to take home.
14. Soak up the autumn scenery at FarmVille Barouk
Barouk is particularly beautiful this time of year, and FarmVille makes a nice stop for a countryside date. Spend some time enjoying the surroundings, take a few photos, make the most out of their creative space, and enjoy time away from the city.
