If your home is anywhere in Scottsdale, get a babysitter, grab your sweetheart and get going because Scottsdale offers many choices for a fun night out with your significant other. Start your evening right with a visit to Kazimierz World Wine Bar, located at 7137 E. Stetson Drive.

This cozy, dimly lit bar with plush sofas and chairs evoke the feel of an old European speak easy. With its romantic setting and wide selection of wine, you will forget about the kids and be relaxing in no time.
After enjoying a glass of wine or a cocktail, there are many choices for things to do together. If you are feeling satisfied from your wine and appetizers, you may decide to skip dinner and go for a romantic horse and carriage ride down the street in Old Town Scottsdale. You can get on at Main Street and Brown from September through June and for a very special night, they will also pick you up at a designated spot. You can take a tour of Old Town or The Waterfront, going over the Arizona Canal Bridge.
Not a big fan of horses and you are still hungry? Head north to catch a movie and dinner at I Pic theater at the Scottsdale Quarter. Located at 15279 N. Scottsdale Road, I Pic is the ultimate movie-going experience. Watch your movie while enjoying such amenities as reserved seating, complementary popcorn, and food and beverage service during the film. There is an extensive wine list and a full service or grab and go menu with delicious food options.
Once your movie is over and your babysitter isn’t expecting you home for a few hours, top off your evening at the Hyatt Gainey Ranch and take a Gondola ride under the moonlight. Located at 7300 Gainey Drive, you will feel like you are in Venice as the gondolier serenades you as you float through the calming water.
