Mother’s Day

Why Florida’s Historic Coast is the perfect place to share good times with a special woman in your life for Mother’s Day.

You always said that Mom was special. Different. Deserves the best. Now you can show her you really mean it. Instead of the same old, same old, do something completely unexpected. We’ve got just the thing or two!

A Twist on a Tradition

The Tasting Tours promises to make Mom’s Day a memorable one. Starting with special events that range from a strolling Food & Wine Pairing Experience, a Carriage Ride & Dessert Experience and a Wine & Dine Rolling Adventure. Better yet, how about a Mother’s Day Tipsy Tea Party? This extravagant Royal Afternoon Tea is a boozy twist on a traditional high tea and comes complete with savory bites, delicate desserts, antique teapots and bubbly delights! What Mom wouldn’t want a bit of bubbly and a spot of tea on her special day? Each guest takes home a souvenir champagne glass to mark the occasion.

Cast a Magical Spell

It’s like you read her mind! The Magic Hideaway with Bill Abbott at the Casa Monica Hotel & Spa is a brilliant magic and mind-reading experience with an award-winning Master Magician. Enjoy a complimentary cocktail in the Cobalt Lounge then enjoy one of the most intimate magical mind-bending illusions just inches away from you. After the spellbinding performance, enjoy photos and autograph session.

Mother Loves Nature

What if Mom is more of the outdoorsy type? You’re in luck, as St. Augustine is surrounded by water and boasts miles of hiking trails and acres of natural reserves. Earth Kinship offers many different kayak journeys that will allow Mom to truly immerse herself in the beauty of Florida. During her unforgettable adventure, she’ll not only get to see and photograph the nature surrounding her, she’ll learn about the area, its history, its ecology and all about the vibrant wildlife that call these waters home.

Rest & Relaxation

Mom deserves a break. So why not indulge her with a spa treatment at Salt Spa St. Augustine? This is no ordinary spa but a unique wellness spa that follows the therapeutic model of a world-famous salt mine spa in Poland. Mom will relax in a stress-free zen-like environment inside a salt cave that promotes relaxation and healing for the body, mind and spirit. After all she’s done for her loved ones, Mom can unwind, meditate and breathe in naturally ionized salt air, refreshing her lungs with this unique clarifying treatment.

Fire & Ice

Is Mom a foodie? Masters of Fire & Ice would be the ultimate way to celebrate her good taste. We’re talking an ensemble of Master chefs and bartenders coming together for a feast of live fire grilling and cocktail making experience that has made Asado Life famous. Picture this: 3 courses prepared by featured master chefs and 3 signature cocktails prepared by featured bartenders. All in a breathtaking location overlooking the San Sebastian River. Great food, great folks, great feels all around. Need some names? How about Chef Matthew Brown, Chef Barry Honan, Chef Sean Woods, Chef Eric Butcher, Kelley Fitzsimmonds, Jon Mateer and Josh Davis, to name a few. Not to mention a portion of proceeds go to Epic Cure, dedicated to eliminating food waste. Mom would looove this.
