Colorado. Telluride (population about 2,600) is known as a world-class ski destination; however, holding hands is much easier on the ice-skating rink or on a sleigh ride through the snow

globe scenery. Outside of winter, Mother Nature does some of her best work in Telluride, when blue skies, purple lupine and quaking golden aspen trees create a stunning mountain tapestry.

Experience the magic via guided horseback ride with Telluride Wranglers. Or simply saunter hand-in-hand around town to people-watch, shop and dine. Don’t miss the gondola, which connects

Telluride to Mountain Village. The 13-minute ride is free, and the views are priceless. It’s walking distance from the Victorian Inn, a cozy four-season pied-à-terre. ​BERKELEY SPRINGS,

WEST VIRGINIA Getty Images ​Full of outdoor beauty and pampering pursuits, Berkeley Springs (population about 800) might soon rise to the top of your favorite romantic getaways list. The

mountain town calls itself America’s first spa, so lean in and book time in a private bath at the Old Roman Bath House, a mineral spa operating since colonial times inside Berkeley Springs

State Park ($27 per 30-minute, walk-in tub experience; $24 for seniors). It’s not every day you have a chance to lounge inside a salt cave, but the one in Berkeley Springs invites guests to

absorb the mineral’s renowned healing properties during 45-minute sessions. You can take some inspiration home with you by shopping for candles and bath and body products at Mineral Springs

Trading Co. Or prolong the wellness we-time at Country Inn of Berkeley Springs, whose onsite Renaissance Spa offers a package that includes an overnight stay, a couples massage and a bottle

of sparkling wine upon arrival. ​​ FREDERICKSBURG, TEXAS Getty Images Wine in Texas? Yes, ma’am! As the unofficial capital of the state’s gorgeous Hill Country, Fredericksburg (population

about 11,000) is a smooth blend of Southern hospitality and grapevines. About 75 miles west of Austin, Fredericksburg was founded by German immigrants in 1846, but more than 150 independent

shops, boutiques, galleries and restaurants give it a cosmopolitan flair. Highway 290, a.k.a Wine Road 290, between Fredericksburg and Johnson City, is sprinkled with more than 20 wineries,

including Becker Vineyards, one of the oldest and largest in the state, and Grape Creek, a slice of Tuscany in Texas. Fredericksburg’s bustling Main Street has many tasting rooms where

visitors can sip and sample, including Perspective Cellars, with 60 wines to choose from inside a historic German home. Or sip your wine at its piano bar every Saturday night. The

Fredericksburg Inn & Suites is a five-minute walk from all the downtown action.
