The Wine Project
Sip and savor a special moment with your mom at The Wine Project, Georgetown’s craft wine shop and lounge. Pop open a bottle from their extensive selection of locally sourced and small-farm wines or create your own flight from the rotating selection of eight unique options in the self-serve WineStation. Pair your pour with takeout from one of Georgetown’s many local restaurants or bring a charcuterie board to enjoy while sipping and reminiscing.

Whispering Woods Riding Stables
Looking to create new memories with your tween & teen buckaroos? Saddle up and experience a Mother’s Day adventure at Whispering Woods Riding Stables! Enjoy the scenic backwoods of Scott County while riding horseback through heavily wooded trails and beside babbling creeks. With the guidance of experienced instructors, you and your child will learn how to ride and communicate with your gentle giants. Be on the lookout for wildlife roaming about. I spied three deer relaxing by the water on my ride. Pack a picnic for lunch and refuel under the shaded pavilion. There is a petting zoo on premises, so bring along a few extra carrots to share with the goats, pigs, and donkeys, oh my!

Rodney’s on Broadway
A Mother’s Day celebration would not be complete without treating your mom to a fabulous culinary experience at Rodney’s on Broadway, where fine dining meets southern charm. Chef Rodney Jones expertly prepares main entrees like prime beef, seafood, duck, and lamb, as well as elevated classics like macaroni & cheese and grits du jour. The Woodford Reserve Shrimp and Diver Scallops paired with corn pudding is my personal favorite! Reserve your table for Mother’s Day weekend inside the beautiful, historic home or under the stars on their newly renovated patio. Order the Show Stopper Sangria, raise your glass, and toast to your most amazing mom!
