5) Spa Services.

Those searching for romance and relaxation should consider indulging in some spa services. At Inn & Spa At Cedar Falls - Hocking Hills Lodging in Logan, OH, couples can rejuvenate and revitalize side-by-side with a couples massage or choose from a number of other services available on the Spa Menu, including a Sampler Package that includes a little bit of everything.

6) Chocolate.

It's the sweetest example of food that is an aphrodisiac, and Camellia Inn in Healdsburg, CA has an experience that makes for an enticing escape to Wine Country. The Chocolate Covered Wednesday Package (available all year) features mid-week lodging, breakfast fare of chocolate cherry clafouti or chocolate croissants, assorted chocolate treats in the afternoon and evening, and in-room amenities including chocolate soap, a chocolate candle, and gourmet chocolate.

7) Wine Tastings.

How better to get "drunk on love" than with a little help from some vino? We all know alcohol helps release those endorphins - and doing so in an elegant and educational way is really ideal. That's where First Friday Wine Dinners at The Red Clover Inn & Restaurant in Rutland, VT come in. The inn's chefs create a unique pairing menu or series of tastings to celebrate the season based on themes.

8) Gardens.

Eden was located in one of these for a reason. Nature can inspire both peace and passion. At Lucille's Mountain Top Inn & Spa in Sautee Nacoochee, GA, its lush lawns feature breathtaking views overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains and Sautee Valley as well as numerous colorful plants, flowers, and a garden gazebo. It's a stunning spot for sweethearts to savor the surroundings.

9) Dinner.

We covered breakfast and chocolate, so a romantic dinner deal can't be missed! At Cameo Heights Mansion in Touchet, WA couples have the option of adding on Private In-Suite Dinner Service for two with their stay. The inn will set the table in your room with linen, fine china, and candles and serve your dinner for just the two of you, then whisk it away when you call.

10) Location.

Location. Location. Your surroundings are easily one of the easiest ways to inspire romance. Beachside beauty is a perfect example, and The Bed & Breakfast Inn at La Jolla in La Jolla, CA definitely makes the most of its amazing location just one block away from the Pacific Ocean where sensational sunsets and invigorating warm seaside breezes await.
