Wine Tasting

Trying different wine blends is a great activity to do with Mom! In Georgia’s Rome, we have two different wine tasting locations to choose from. Newby Farm & Vineyard Tasting Room has multiple different wines for tasting. Plus, all of their grapes are grown locally! For more than just wine, try Olea Olive Oils & Wine! They offer many different house-made olive oils and vinegars to create your own salad dressing and cooking needs. Both locations also offer creative and culinary experiences. Follow their social media for fun classes!

Does your mom love to garden? She’ll love exploring Rome’s gardens! This is a self-guided tour that includes all of Rome’s beautiful gardens. Follow the interactive map to see over 20 gardens!

Strawberry Picking

Fresh fruit picking is a great way to spend Mother’s Day! LCCL Strawberry Farm is located in the Armuchee area, and offers you-pick and pre-picked strawberries. Be sure to grab strawberry ice cream and jam while you’re there! Lazy Creek Farms also offer you-pick strawberries. Be sure to check both Facebook pages before visiting for daily updates and hours!
