Port And Wine Mothers Day Gift Ideas

Sometimes the stress of everyday life can become too much, especially for mums! Mother's Day is all about reminding your own mum just how appreciated she is.

To show your appreciations this year why not really push the boat out, literally!

A three day weekend break to one of two premier European locations will really help the both of you get to know each other all over again. And what better way to do it than over wine!

In Bordeaux you can take time out to visit French chateaux's, tasting fabulous wines and enjoying the finer things in life. The wine experts will direct you through a wine tasting session, giving you valuable insight in to the world of wine in the Bordeaux area. Each day you will both be taken to visit a chateau where a wide assortment of wines will be waiting for you both to try.

The wine tasting experience includes accommodation in a fantastic 18th century hotel. Here you will be able to spend your evenings relaxing and maybe even putting some of your newly learnt skills into good use over a bottle of wine served with dinner. The hotel is situated in beautiful surroundings giving you both the opportunity to take a leisurely stroll around the grounds to soak up the French ambience in style.

This wonderful trip to the Bordeaux region of France is for beginners and experts alike. So whether you are a complete novice or a connoisseur, the wine experts will help you both to truly understand the subtle differences between wines and what distinguishes a fine wine from an average one! Your mum will be impressed with this thoughtful and imaginative mothers day gift. A great way to spend time together sampling the finer things in life!

For an exciting and very memorable way to spend time with your mum treat her to a superb short break treading grapes! This fun packed port experience offers a distinctly different gift which can be taken during the grape harvest in September. She may not experience her gift on mother day itself, however, you can tempt her taste buds with a vintage port on March 22nd and let her in on the surprise you have planned for later on in the year!

The short break mixes relaxation and informal recreation as you will both join an informal grape treading session! Brilliant fun and a great way to meet the locals of Portugal. Of course, there will be plenty of port to drink and fine Portuguese wines with dinner.

You will both visit two Quintas which are renowned for their vintage ports and have the opportunity to travel by train up through the spectacular scenery of the Douro vineyards.

You and your mum can soak up the late summer sun and spend time enjoying the comfort of a wonderful three star hotel near the waterfront of Oporto, a thriving, yet tranquil town.

Either of these wonderful mothers day gift ideas will show your mum that you have given considerable thought to her mothers day present this year.
