First, you need to know what your partner’s interests are. Do they enjoy food, wine, cars, sports, etc? Do they have a product or company that they especially love? Look for tours that fit their personality for the biggest impact. For example -- for car lovers, check with any local auto-manufacturing plants for tours. Follow the date up with a test drive in one of their favorite cars.
Next, you’ll need to see what’s available to you in your area. Use the phone book to find companies that suit your partner’s interests. Call them up to see if they offer tours or if you can arrange a private tour. You can also go to your city’s visitor’s bureau website. Most cities will have a list of companies that offer tours in their activities section.
- Transportation related: auto-manufactures, out of commission planes or submarines, trains, trucks, motorcycle plants (Harley Davidson has an amazing tour.)
- Snack related: favorite brand of snacks, favorite candy or soda, local candy makers.
- Food and wine related: wineries, local breweries, gift food distributors (think Harry & David).
- Behind-the-scenes tours: amusement parks, museums, zoos.
- Business-oriented: take your date on a tour of a local business to see how they do things. This is especially great when your partner is considering venturing into something new. You’ll need to contact the owner of the company and explain what you want in order to pull this date night idea off.
