Just because it’s grey outside, doesn’t mean your date ideas in Perth have to be. We’re here to help you fan the flames of your relationship and stop you from getting stuck in the sweats, takeaway and Netflix trap.
Braving the winter cold can feel like an uphill battle, but these couple's activities will beat the doom and gloom with your partner in crime by your side. From the butterflies of a first date to the excitement of getting away without the kids, these date ideas are all about fun and connection. There’s nothing like bundling up and feeling the invigorating winter chill in the air, then finding refuge in a cosy creative studio and learning something new. So, grab your better half, plan the perfect date and beat the winter blues with these seven date ideas in Perth.
1. Mug making and matcha
As we head into winter, it’s best to make sure you’re all stocked up on the essentials—a cosy throw, some reading socks and a mug for your hot drinks. If you don’t just want any old mug, make one yourself at this matcha and mug making workshop in Fremantle.
This pottery class is a seriously good winter date idea—you’re not just making a cosy mug, you’re also enjoying a hot cup of matcha on arrival. And if you’re partial to a creamy green brew (here at ClassBento, we definitely are), it’s the perfect way to warm up and wind down together.
There’s something deeply soothing about crafting something from scratch together, it’s a tactile, grounding experience that leaves you with a keepsake and a new memory. Plus there’s nothing like matching handmade mugs to make mornings together special.
2. An evening of art and wine
Beat the grey of winter with some creativity and colour! Enjoy an evening of art and wine with your significant other at this art workshop in Subiaco. Whether you lean toward paint and sip, art journaling or collage, this playful experience invites you to unwind and share an experience together. You don’t need to be a modern-day Monet to enjoy this night out, it’s all about letting your creativity flow and having a laugh together. It’s low pressure and high reward, with a little vino to keep you warm from the inside out.
3. Warm up with candle making
A warm, flickering candle and winter go together like peanut butter and jam. For your next date night, head to Cherrie Blossom Candle and Co in Applecross for a candle making class where you and your date can make up to three candles each. You’ll also enjoy complimentary tea, coffee and snacks to heat up your bellies and enjoy uninterrupted time to catch up while you create. You’ll walk away with beautifully handcrafted candles to take home, perfect for your next snuggly night in.
4. Earthy terrarium making
It’s easy to forget what the earth feels like in winter as we spend more and more time indoors. This terrarium making workshop in Cloverdale is here to remind you! This is a chill date idea for couples who love the slower things in life.
Together, you’ll layer soil, pebbles, moss and lush greenery to create a gorgeous terrarium. This class also invites you to add a rustic wooden feature to your terrariums, making it look more like a living artwork than a plant. It’s the kind of experience that invites you to slow down, get a little dirty and create something beautiful with your hands. Plus, you’ll leave with a mini indoor garden that brings a splash of green to your winter hibernation space.

5. Get creative with tiles
Trying to find a date idea that involves something you’ve both never done before? This tiles and tessellations workshop in Medina will hit the mark! Enjoy a wonderfully creative afternoon as you and your date use colourful tiles to create a one-of-a-kind mosaic wall feature.
There’s something truly bonding about working side by side on a creative project, and the vibrant colours and textures will help you forget the gloomy weather outside. This winter date idea is perfect for hands-on couples who love learning new skills together.
“LOVED this class and would do it a thousand times over! The space is just beautiful, the teachers are super supportive and helpful, and I ended up with a beautiful creation. If you’re on the fence, trust me and book the class!” - Steph M.
6. Cook up a comforting meal
We all know the way to the heart is through the stomach and this gnocchi and risotto class in Mount Hawthorn proves it! Learn how to roll out pillowy-soft gnocchi and stir the perfect creamy risotto at this hands-on cooking class.
Not only is it a delicious way to spend a chilly evening, but it’s also a great way to connect over something simple and satisfying. You’ll get plenty of guidance from a passionate local chef and enjoy a hearty meal together at the end, no dish washing required!
If you're looking for a winter date idea that ends in a full belly and warm hearts, this one's for you.
7. Make, eat and smash chocolate
Prefer to stay home and eat chocolate with your loved one this winter? We hear you! This virtual chocolate smash heart class is the ultimate at-home date activity for homebody couples who don’t want to take their Oodies off until spring.
You’ll receive a DIY kit delivered to your door with everything you need to mould and decorate your own chocolate smash heart. Then, enjoy smashing into it together to reveal a hidden treat inside—because who doesn’t want a bit of fun (and chocolate) during winter?
This virtual experience proves that staying in can be just as sweet as heading out, especially when it involves dessert and laughter.
Winter doesn’t have to mean boredom or hibernation. With these winter date ideas in Perth, you can spice things up, try something new and stay warm (literally AND emotionally). Whether you're shaping clay mugs, stirring risotto or crafting a terrarium, you’ll be spending quality time with each other doing something that makes you both feel more connected.
So, next time the clouds roll in and the couch starts calling, try one of these ideas instead. You might just find that winter is the perfect time to slow down, cuddle up and make some magic.
