Mother’s Day experience gifts are even better with wine! If mom enjoys a good glass of wine, a day at a winery could be a relaxing Mother’s Day adventure for her.
In Central Florida, some great Florida wineries to visit are Lakeridge Winery in Clermont and Keel & Curley Winery at Keel Farms in Plant City.
In Clearwater, Aspirations Winery offers Florida wine tours and tastings featuring beachy fruit-infused wines.
Lakeridge Winery, Clermont, FL
In addition to daily complimentary winery tours and tastings, weekends at Lakeridge Winery feature a food court and live entertainment on the vineyard green, along with wines by the glass available at the winery’s outdoor wine bar.

A farm, winery, brewery, restaurant and more located in Plant City, Keel Farms is a fun Mother’s Day adventure spot. Mom will enjoy tasting Keel + Curley winery fruit wine specialties like blueberry, peach and key lime wines.
Keel & Curley wine tastings are $15 per person and must be booked in advance. Keel Farms also offers a behind-the-scenes tour of the farm and winery. The farm tour is $25 per person and includes a tasting of Keel Farms farm-to-glass products and a souvenir flight glass.

If your adventure-seeking mom is an art lover, she’s sure to appreciate a Mother’s Day art experience. When it comes to Mother’s Day experience gifts, taking mom to an art class, art museum or immersive experience are all fun options.
My top pick for a Mother’s Day art experience in Tampa Bay is Florida immersive art museum Fairgrounds St. Pete where viewing art becomes an adventure.
