Mother's Day Wine Tasting: Treat Her to Something Special
She taught you how to set the table. She introduced you to flavors you never knew existed. She made ordinary evenings feel like celebrations. This Mother's Day, return the gesture with something she will actually remember: a mother's day wine tasting at a winery where every detail is crafted with the same care she put into raising you.
At Domaine LeSeurre Winery on Keuka Lake, we believe the best gifts are not wrapped in paper. They are shared over a glass of wine, with the people who matter most, in a place that makes time slow down. A mother's day wine experience here is not just a tasting -- it is an afternoon of warmth, laughter, and flavors that linger long after the last sip.
Mother's Day 2026 falls on May 10th. The terrace will be in full spring bloom, the lake shimmering below, and our tasting room ready to welcome you and the woman who deserves to be celebrated.
Why a Wine Tasting Is the Perfect Mother's Day Gift
Forget the flowers that wilt by Wednesday. Forget the candle she already has three of. Research consistently shows that experiences bring more lasting happiness than material gifts -- and a mother's day wine gift that involves quality time together is the kind of present she will talk about for years.
A wine tasting gives her something rare: unhurried time with the people she loves, in a setting designed for relaxation and discovery. No cooking, no cleaning, no agenda. Just the clink of glasses, a new flavor to explore, and a view that makes everything else disappear.
At Domaine LeSeurre, you are not just booking a tasting. You are giving her a seat at a table where a 6th-generation Champagne winemaking family pours their heritage into every glass. Celine and Sebastien LeSeurre left France to build something deeply personal on the shores of Keuka Lake, and that sense of family runs through everything we do.
When you bring your mother here, she will feel it.
Three Wine Tasting Experiences to Make Mom's Day
We offer three distinct wine tasting for mom experiences, each one a different way to say "thank you." Whether she is a seasoned wine lover or simply curious, there is an experience that fits her perfectly.
Educational Wine Tasting -- $15 per person
Our guided tasting of five wines is the ideal introduction. Over about 40 minutes, one of our knowledgeable team members walks you through five carefully selected wines from our collection of 30+ artisanal bottles. She will learn how to identify aromas, understand what makes Finger Lakes Riesling so distinctive, and discover why our Chardonnays keep earning praise from visitors who know their wine.
This is wine education the way it should be: warm, conversational, and free of pretension. Questions are encouraged. Second favorites are absolutely allowed.
Wine Club members taste free, plus up to three guests.
A Taste of France: Wine and Macaron Pairing -- $28 per person
If your mother loves the finer things but has a weakness for something sweet, this is her experience. Five wines paired with five French macarons, each combination chosen to play off complementary and opposing flavors in ways that genuinely surprise.
Picture the moment: a crisp Riesling meets a delicate passion fruit macaron, and the pairing unlocks something neither could achieve alone. That is the magic of French food and wine pairing -- and it is the kind of detail that makes a mothers day winery experience feel truly curated.
This seated experience is our most popular for Mother's Day. It is elegant without being stuffy, indulgent without being heavy, and perfectly suited for a group of two or a table of four.
Signature Food and Wine Pairing -- $35 per person
For the mother who appreciates a full sensory journey, our premium seated experience pairs five wines with five artisanal bites inspired by classic French flavors. Local cheeses, European charcuterie, and seasonal preparations that our team selects to showcase the unique relationship between food, wine, and terroir.
This is our most immersive tasting -- the one where conversations deepen, new favorites are discovered, and the afternoon stretches in the best possible way. If you are planning a mother's day wine tasting that she will describe as unforgettable, this is the one.

Keuka Lake Views: The Setting She Deserves
There is a reason 72% of our visitors mention the view in their reviews. Domaine LeSeurre sits on the hillside above Keuka Lake, and our terrace offers a panorama that changes with the light -- soft gold in the morning, brilliant blue at midday, amber and rose as the sun dips behind the hills.
On Mother's Day weekend, the Finger Lakes are at their spring best. The vines are waking up, the air carries that clean sweetness of new growth, and the lake reflects the sky like a mirror. It is the kind of setting that makes you put your phone down and simply be present.
Bring a sweater for the breeze, settle into one of our French-style brasserie copper tables, and let the landscape do the rest. No reservation needed for terrace seating -- just arrive, choose your spot, and order wine by the glass alongside one of our artisanal cheese and charcuterie boards.
A Mother's Day Wine Gift She Can Open Later
Not every mom lives close enough for a day trip to the Finger Lakes. If distance separates you, a thoughtful mother's day wine gift can still carry the warmth of a shared experience.
Send Her Wine
Our online shop ships to 34+ states, and our collection covers every palate. A bright, dry Rose for the mom who loves summer evenings on the patio. A mineral-driven Riesling for the one who always orders the most interesting thing on the menu. A rich Chardonnay for the woman who taught you that dinner deserves a proper glass of wine.
Volume discounts make it easy to be generous: 5% off 6-11 bottles, 10% off 12-23, and 15% off 24 or more. Processing takes 2-3 business days, so order by early May to ensure delivery before the 10th.
Gift Her a Wine Club Membership
If you want to give a gift that keeps arriving at her door, our Wine Club is free to join and includes 15% off every purchase, complimentary tastings for her and up to three guests, and access to exclusive sparkling wines that are reserved only for members.
Three times a year -- winter, spring, and autumn -- she will receive six bottles, either hand-selected by our winemakers or chosen to her own taste. It is the kind of gift that says "I know you, and I want you to have something beautiful, regularly."

Planning Your Mother's Day Visit to the Finger Lakes
A mothers day finger lakes outing is easy to plan and hard to forget. Here is how to make the most of the day.
Before You Arrive
- Book your tasting in advance. Walk-ins are welcome when space allows, but Mother's Day is one of our busiest weekends. Reserving your spot guarantees she will not have to wait. Book your experience here.
- Groups of 8 or more: Call us at (607) 292-3920 to arrange seating.
- Last seated experience begins at 5:00 PM. We are open daily from 10 AM to 6 PM.
- Dogs are welcome on the terrace -- so if mom's best friend has four legs, bring them along.
Make It a Full Day
Pair your tasting with a stroll through Hammondsport, named one of America's coolest small towns. Browse the village shops, grab lunch at a local spot, then head to Domaine LeSeurre for an afternoon of wine and lake views. The drive along Keuka Lake is part of the experience -- rolling vineyards, shimmering water, and the feeling of having left the ordinary behind.
What to Expect When You Arrive
Step inside our tasting room and the ambiance shifts immediately. Antique French tapestries hang alongside vintage American touches, creating a space that feels like walking into a friend's beautiful home rather than a commercial tasting room. The staff are warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely happy to guide your experience -- whether mom is tasting her first Riesling or her hundredth.
If the weather is kind, ask for a terrace table. The combination of wine, food, and that Keuka Lake panorama is the reason people drive hours to visit.
From Our Family to Yours
Domaine LeSeurre was built by a couple who followed their shared love of wine halfway around the world. Sebastien grew up in the vineyards of Champagne, where his family has made wine for six generations. Celine grew up near her grandparents' vineyard in the foothills of the Pyrenees. They met in New Zealand, fell in love over harvest, and eventually settled on the shores of Keuka Lake because the view captured their hearts and the terroir challenged their craft.
Every bottle we pour carries that story. And on Mother's Day, when you raise a glass with the woman who shaped your own story, we think you will feel the connection.
Sante.
