Romantic Things to Do in Alabama
Here is a sneak peek of what is coming next:
1. Sunrise Coffee & Bluff View
Start your morning slow. Brew a fresh cup of coffee and step out onto your cabin deck just as the sun begins to rise. The air is cool, the lake is still, and the mountains are just starting to catch the light. Take a moment to breathe it in together, no phones, no plans, just the view and the quiet.

Spend an afternoon at a local vineyard. Sip hand-crafted Alabama wines and take in the quiet beauty of the foothills. Share a wood-fired pizza, linger over a tasting flight, and let the afternoon unfold at its own pace. Before you leave, pick up a bottle to bring back to your cabin for the perfect ending to the evening with a glass and a view.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the best place in Alabama to enjoy a romantic sunrise?
One of the best sunrise spots is the bluff at Paradise Pointe in Bryant. Couples can step directly onto their private cabin deck and watch the sun rise over Nickajack Lake and Sand Mountain. The view is fully unobstructed, so you do not need to drive anywhere or hike before sunrise.
Is kayaking at Nickajack Lake beginner friendly for couples?
Yes. Nickajack Lake is known for calm waters, which makes it ideal for beginners or couples who just want a relaxed paddle. Rentals are available near the Tennessee River Blueway and you can choose single or tandem kayaks.
How long does the Tri State Trail hike take from Paradise Pointe?
The trail is short and easy. Most couples complete it in 20 to 30 minutes depending on how often they stop for photos. The viewpoint at the top overlooks Alabama, Tennessee and Georgia at the same time, which makes it a popular spot for proposal photos or anniversary selfies.
What can couples expect during a wine tasting at Jules J. Berta Vineyards?
The vineyard offers tasting flights with several local Alabama wines, including fruit forward blends and dry reds. You can pair the tasting with wood fired pizza from their onsite kitchen, which is especially good in the late afternoon when the foothills start to cool down.
