Wine making is something that the Pacific Northwest is known for, and you can get a dramatically detailed view of the what it takes to create a great bottle of wine by visiting the Latah Creek Winery & Gift Shop. This winery is one of the leading Merlot producers in the region, and many visitors enjoy visiting this first-class attraction which is located east of downtown Spokane just off Interstate 90. Not only is the Merlot something special, but the entire facility retains an air of classic beauty as it was built to resemble a Spanish mission. Once you visit and see it all, you'll understand why the Latah Creek Wine Cellar is the most popular winery in the Spokane Valley.

Plan a romantic date at the Knitting Factory, a venue that is widely regarded as the Northwest's premiere outlet for live music.

There's a great restaurant and fun nightclub all owned by the same management, so you get to save a little travel time by getting a great meal, hearing some live music, and dancing the night away at one of downtown Spokane's favorite places.
