Food and Drink

Fine Dining

Perched high atop the Ozark Mountains at Top of the Rock, the Osage Restaurant serves an up-scale regional cuisine with unmatched views.

Another area favorite for special occasions is Level2 Steakhouse, featuring Kansas City 28-day-aged Certified Hereford Beef and the freshest seafood sourced globally, flown in twice weekly.

Wineries

Wine has been a long-standing element in romantic celebrations. While on your romantic getaway, sample some of Missouri’s wonderful wineries in Branson. Lindwedel Wine Garden offers a countryside setting for sampling wines with your partner. Lindwedel offers Missouri-crafted wines, along with regional flavors such as Table Rock Red and Table Rock White, which pay tribute to the beautiful nearby Table Rock Lake. Located just off the famous Branson strip sits Ozark Hills Winery. This winery offers small-batch wines with clever names like Bubble Bath Zin.

Distilleries

Branson is home to several distilleries. Visit Missouri Ridge Distillery, a family-owned, mom and pop business in Branson’s beautiful Ozark Mountains. Using limestone produced water, time-honored family recipes and high-quality ingredients, Missouri Ridge offers products with a fine aroma and flavor. This distillery is grain-to-bottle, and their whiskies, beers and moonshines have won multiple awards. When you visit, expect to stay for lunch or dinner. A full barbecue menu is available, and their slow-smoked, mouthwatering meats pair perfectly with Missouri Ridge’s Craft Beer.

Relaxation and Entertainment

Spas

Romance and relaxation go hand in hand. Visit the 18,000-square-foot Cedar Creek Spa & Salon for a day of rest, relaxation and self-care located at Big Cedar Lodge. Book the couples package, which includes a 60-minute massage, a glass of bubbly, decadent sweets and more. Spa Chateau located at the Chateau on the Lake provides a full-service facility where a striking outdoor Roman bath with a waterfall and a massive Swarovski crystal chandelier set the scene for a luxe spa. Book their couples treatment with added bathing ritual prior to your aromatherapy massage.

Shows

Nothing says a night “out on the town” like visiting a Branson show. Branson’s Grand Country Music Hall features unique experiences from all genres of music and entertainment. Billed as Branson’s Most Fun Place to Eat, Dolly Parton’s Stampede is a restaurant and show like no other. Watch as 32 magnificent horses and a cast of top-notch riders thrill you with daring feats of trick riding and friendly competition all while you enjoy a 4-course feast. If you and your partner desire more adventure, set sail on the Showboat Branson Belle, — America’s most entertaining lake adventure — offering cruises through the year, plus fireworks on select days.

More Things to Do for Couples

If all the wining, dining and pampering your partner hasn’t won them over yet, challenge them to a round of 18 holes of golf. Whether your speed is pro or putt-putt. Branson is a premiere destination for both. Payne’s Valley Golf Course, named in honor of the late Payne Stewart, is the first fully public-access course in the world completed by Tiger Woods’ design firm TGR Design. Branson Hills Golf Club was designed by Chuck Smith with design consultant by PGA Professional, Bobby Clampett. It is a masterful design which is literally carved through the Ozark Mountains. Natural rock outcroppings, waterfalls, creeks and an abundance of wildlife will add to your experience. If windmills and moats are more your speed, take a swing at Branson’s Shoot for the Stars mini golf course, which includes 18 holes that feature Hollywood landmarks such as Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, Capitol Records and the Hollywood Bowl, and more. If your golf game worked up an appetite, but didn’t fill your thirst for more adult fun, find a place to perch yourselves at The Social Birdy, where the “Grass is Fake but the Fun is Real.” One of Branson’s newest attractions offering golf simulators, a putting green, pickleball and a great selection of food and drink.
