We’re all about big, bold honeymoons. But with the stress of wedding planning, adding another thing to your plate — planning a far-flung adventure — sometimes isn’t in the cards. That’s where mini-moons come in. These are known as shorter, more low-key getaways taken immediately post-nuptials.
There are tons of dreamy locations across the US that make for a perfect mini-moon (you can always extend your stay, of course). After all, there’s something to be said for escaping real life — if only briefly — in your own backyard.
Read on for a few of our favorite mini-moon destinations.
The Allison Inn & Spa - Newberg, Oregon
Oregon’s Willamette Valley is a lush paradise home to some of the country’s top wineries (especially those known for Pinot Noir). It’s also home to The Allison, a cozy luxury resort brimming with vibrant artwork from 100 local artists. A celebration of all things local also extends to the resort’s farm-to-table restaurant, JORY, which features produce grown on The Allison’s very own farm and greenhouse. You’ll find the Pacific Northwest’s bounty represented in the spa, too: treatments draw on the region’s healing plants and (what else?) wine grapes, which help brighten and firm the skin.
