VIDEO: Day-cation deals for the fall
Check out the local day-cation deals we've rounded up.

Summer vacation's over, but if you feel like you could a little more rest and relaxation, check out the local "day-cation" deals we've rounded up.

The idea of a day-cation is to carve a couple hours out of your day and enjoy amenities normally enjoyed by travelers, so you feel like you're on vacation without checking into a hotel or paying tourist prices.

Day-cations are a hot fall trend.

Gabe Saglie of Travelzoo explains, "It's a win-win across the board. The consumer gets to experience a little bit of travel without getting away all that far, not spending as much money, and cashing in on some great savings."

Check out the Chew Philly Food Tour.

You'll enjoy eight food tastings at delis, bakeries, and specialty shops. It's just $67 for TWO people - that's more than half off the regular price!

If you're looking for a spa experience - how about heading to the Four Seasons Hotel in Philadelphia for this special package?

Your choice of a 50 minute Swedish massage or a 50 minute facial, access to the sauna, gym, heated indoor pool and whirlpool, AND a poolside snack.

All for $99. That's almost $50 off the normal price!

"A lot of the wineries that are within an hour's drive outside of downtown Philadelphia are offering extended afternoon stays. Where you've got not just a wine tasting but maybe cupcake tastings, tours of the vineyard, tours of the estate," Saglie said.

Sand Castle Winery in Bucks County is offering a 30 minute tour of the castle, vineyards, and winery, 12 wine tastings per person and an appetizer platter for $19 per COUPLE through November!

That's more than half off!

Crossing Vineyards in Washington Crossing is offering 12 wine tastings and five mini cupcake tastes for $29 for TWO people through October.

Just a few hours of some fun and relaxation can really recharge you.
