Celebrate Mom This Mother’s Day In Yolo County
Our mothers do so much for us, so it’s fitting that they have a day all for themselves. Mother’s Day is a time to celebrate our moms and all they do. Spending the day with mom (or giving her a day all to herself) is a great way to show her how much you appreciate her. From brunches to wine tasting to spa days, following are ways to celebrate Mother’s Day in Yolo County.
Indulge in Mother’s Day Brunch
Treating Mom to a brunch is one of the best ways to celebrate Mother’s Day. Many restaurants in Yolo County are offering special menus and bubbly along with their regular brunch or lunch menus. Seasons Kitchen and Bar in Davis will be hosting a special Mother’s Day brunch from 10 a.m.–2 p.m., with a fixed-price menu. Nearby Osteria Fasulo also has a special Mother’s Day fixed-price menu, featuring Italian-inspired dishes, dessert, and of course, a mimosa cocktail! In Winters, Preserve will be offering Sunday brunch, with dishes such as beef hash and a Finnish pancake. Franquette in West Sacramento is another good choice for Mother’s Day brunch; their French-inspired menu features quiche, galettes and pastries, not to mention a selection of French wines.
Enjoy Farm-Fresh Flowers
At Park Winters, mom can pick her own bouquet from their colorful flower fields. The seasonal fields include a wide selection of blossoms, including cosmos, marigolds, zinnias, dahlia, poppies, dianthus, sweet peas, snap dragons, ranunculus and more. Visitors will also have guidance on how to clip and gather the blooms.
Capay Valley Lavender is also hosting a special Mother’s Day event. Stroll through the lavender fields, enjoy the fresh country air and partake in an easy, family-friendly sachet craft. You can sample lavender scones in the morning and lavender brownies in the afternoon, and you can browse their gift shop anytime for that perfect lavender-themed gift.
Sip Yolo County Wine
