When the sun sets, the romance begins. Take in the smooth sounds of live jazz at Jazz Tastings in Maitland or experience the new Blue Bamboo campus when it opens in Spring 2025.
Sip a craft brew at Ivanhoe Park Brewing, which now has two locations: the original in Ivanhoe Village on Alden Road, and the Lager House just outside downtown Orlando near Camping World Stadium. Ivanhoe Park Brewing Lager House has a full kitchen with great food that pairs perfectly with their craft beer and wine selection with plenty of room to relax.
If you or your partner love craft beer, treat yourself to an adults-only experience at the My Beer Spa on I-Drive. The folks at My Beer Spa love to pamper their guests. My husband and I have soaked in this luxury three times over the past few years. It is one of our favorite ways to celebrate a special occasion or get some much-needed time together.
During our hour-long appointment we’ve soaked in the wooden tubs full of soothing warm water and antioxidant-hops blend, then relaxed in the infrared sauna, before cooling off on the hay bed. The treatment room is cozy, private and equipped with soothing music and a private restroom with a shower. It’s blissful!
And on top of it all, you can enjoy self-service craft beer from Ivanhoe Park Brewing on tap, or upgrade to include wine or sangria.
If you’d rather hop from one brewery to another then head to Historic Downtown Sanford where you can bounce among multiple brewers on 1st Avenue, 2nd Avenue and Sanford Avenue, all within walking distance of each other and with great vibes.
