Drunk in love is the only sort of inebriation you’ll be with a romantic stroll through one of Canberra’s 30 wineries within a 35-minute drive of the city.

Pop the question before popping a cork—what a grape idea!

Before you place a rock on the finger of the love of your life, hike Mount Ainslie for picture-perfect views.

Take the walking track up a short steep incline to experience panoramic vistas from the top. Impressive at sunrise and sunset, you’ll want to pack a picnic and bubbles.

Ask the once-in-a-lifetime question during a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Be swept off your feet with a sunrise hot air balloon flight across the capital.

Bonus: you’ll have already arranged a glass of sparkling to be waiting for you at the end of the flight back at the Hyatt Hotel Canberra.

Is there anything more idyllic than getting on the water with your love and a picnic basket in hand?

Captain your own GoBoat on Lake Burley Griffin and find the perfect spot to pop the question.

“Fly me to the moon, let me play among the stars” crooned Frank Sinatra. Well, Frank, we’ll do you one better at Questacon in Canberra.

Here you’ll find a seven-metre in diameter replica inflated moon suspended above a darkened room—the only one of its kind in the southern hemisphere. No need to leave terra firma.
