Time with mom friends is essential! While playdates are fun, getting together sans kids is not only more relaxing, but allows for real catching up without interruptions! Dinner and drinks are standard moms’ night out fare. But if you’re looking to change up the routine, we’ve rounded up a few fresh ideas to get on the calendar!

Visit a Vineyard

Aquila’s Nest Vineyard is located in Newtown and offers firepit reservations, tastings and picnics outdoors! Gouveia Vineyards is located in Wallingford and you can bring a picnic, purchase a meat and cheese plate there and sample wine!
Enjoy a Weekend Away
Upgrade your Moms’ Night Out to a whole weekend! If you’re looking for something within driving distance, The Saybrook Point Resort & Marina is at the top of our list! It’s an easy drive (about an hour and a half to a two hour drive depending on traffic). The restaurant (Fresh Salt) is delicious, there’s a heated pool with drink service, beautiful views and a spa all on site!
Another good option within driving distance is the Newport Beach Hotel in Middletown, Rhode Island (an easy ride into Newport)! Across the street from the beach, it’s a fun getaway!
The Mayflower Grace Inn & Spa is another perfect option! It’s in Washington, CT which is about an hour and a half away from Stamford. The spa services are wonderful and the lounge area is a little piece of heaven. You’ll seriously never want to leave… especially if you can snag one of the comfy lounge chairs that overlooks the beautiful grounds. When it comes time for meals, stay at the spa and have your lunch delivered (wine, too) or head to the Inn! You can also head out for a hike or other fun activity!
If you want to head to brunch…
Prime Stamford (one of my favorites) is hosting Galentine’s Day Brunch on Sunday, February 15, noon – 3 p.m.
Divina in Stamford Downtown also has an awesome brunch board!
