Relaxing Moms’ Night Out Ideas in Orange County
If you’re a hardworking mom, you deserve some time for yourself, every now and then. Taking care of the hubby and kids, the house, food, work, and the dogs, can get tiring! Giving so much of yourself to the ones you love can become overwhelming and result in a desperate need for some time away from your daily routine, every once in a while.
If you live in or around the Orange County area, we have a few suggestions for some of the best places for you, Moms, to get away to! Check out these ideas, and the MANY additional ideas out there for all that Orange County has to offer.
1- Treat yourselves to a mani/pedi!
Spend a little time with the girls, being pampered and getting your beauty on! Feel refreshed after a relaxing mani/pedi, and walk away, looking and feeling chic, polished, and beautiful.
You could also choose a spa that offers massages, steam rooms, and more!
*Our recommendation-
‘Agency The Salon’
(Tustin)

2- Game night and cocktails at at home.
If you’re not trying to go out and deal with crowds, lines, and a high price tag for the evening, why not relax at someone’s home?! Delegate to each member attending, so everyone pitches in for the food, drinks, and events of the evening. It’ll be just like middle school sleepovers... but with wine!

3- Dinner (or happy hour):
Get the girls together for a delicious dinner! You’ll be able to have an amazing dining experience where you don’t have to cut up anyone else’s food, and you’ll eat your meal while it’s still hot! There are countless, unbelievably scrumptious places to eat, all over Orange County! You could always stop into a place with a fabulous happy hour before or after going to a movie, paint class, or doing some shopping!
*Our recommendation-
The District, Tustin

4- Newport Beach Sunset Cruise:
A gorgeous, sunset cruise is about as relaxing as it gets! Get off the land and onto the beautiful water to watch the big California sun dip below the skyline, observing the extraordinary colors, clouds, and other calming effects of the magic hour with friends!

5- Dinner and dinning at The Irvine
Spectrum.
A day full of shopping for yourself with your whole crew! You’ll be able to take your time while looking through racks of clothing, try on outfits and have your friends put in their opinions about them, and buy freely! It’ll be like going to the mall with your girlfriends in high school where it’s fun, relaxing, and exciting!
After a long day of shopping, stop into one of the many, great restaurants around, for a few cocktails and an amazing dinner together!
Check out the Spectrum’s website and see how many, incredible things it has to offer!
*There’s even ice skating now, through Jan 7!

6- OC Wine Mart and Tasting Bar:
Spend some time with the girls, doing one of the best things in life: tasting wine! OC Wine Mart is like Heaven for those who love wine and it has recently installed a system called the “enomatic tasting bar” which allows shoppers and wine aficionados the opportunity to browse for wine and sample some while doing it. Have some drinks, eat some food, and leave with a bottle you KNOW you’ll love, since you tasted it first!

7- Go to the movies!
It might seem like a cliché idea for a night out, but to sit in the dark, in a comfy chair, being imersed in another world for a few hours... sounds pretty good! What about a movie theater that serves wine?! That’s sure to make a good movie into a great one! The AMC theatre in The District offers wine and beer as a grownup addition to the other movie snack selections! Heck yeah!
Remember to look for a dine-in theatre near you, for a dinner and movie experience, all rolled into one!
Last But NEVER least......
8- PINOT’S PALETTE!!!!
Of course we had to throw our studio into the mix for a great way to spend time with your “Mom crew” in Orange County. Now, you might be thinking that we’re a bit biased, suggesting Pinot’s Palette as one of the top things to do in OC, but with our thousands of excellent reviews, throughout the past 3.5 years we’ve been around, we feel very confident in recommending our painting experience!
We love the idea of a painting and wine class for a fun night out because it offers so much! It’s a unique, relaxing, fun, and beneficial activity that allows you to tune into your creative side for a bit!
If you haven’t picked up a paint brush since third grade, don’t worry....our classes are set up with you in mind! We have a talented artist who walks you through the painting, step by step, and a great team who will help you with anything you may need. We offer a wide variety of wine and beer, some light snacks (you can bring in your own, too), and some fun music to listen to while you create!
The best part is being able to see your friends’ artsy side emerge, and then leaving with a souvenir masterpiece YOU created at the end of the night! You’ll be taking home a special treasure that you can display in your house and always remember the fun night out you had with your best friends!
While these are just some of the best places for a girls’ night out in Orange County, the area has SO MUCH to offer! Check out some of the dozens of lists out there, offering additional ideas (you’ll find Pinot’s Palette on quite a few of them, as well!). ‘Yelp!’ Is always a great resource and asking friends to contribute ideas, works well too.
Whatever you and your friends decide on for your fun night (or day) out, it’s sure to be great! Spending time together, catching up and unwinding after a long week is good for your health. Being with loved ones, relaxing and doing something you enjoy, helps to ease your mind, heart, and soul.
We hope to see you soon, at Pinot’s Palette in Tustin. Come visit The District and see all it has to offer! Stop in and visit our studio to see what we offer and we’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have. You’ll be able to see the upcoming paintings, in person, and we can even sign you up for a class!
*Check our our full calendar on the link, below, and see which painting looks best to you! You can sign up there as well, and be sure to tell all of your friends to sign up too!
Cheers!
