AS Mother’s Day approaches, it’s time to plan special meals, events and gifts for the important women in your life.<\/p>\n
There’s no need to travel. In and around Heathcote there are a wide range of options.<\/p>\n
Envy Distilling will be hosting Gin High Tea over the weekend with bookings available on Saturday 11 May and Sunday 12 May.<\/p>\n
Each high tea comes with two glasses of gin for $85 per person or for the designated driver, with soft drink for $55 per person.<\/p>\n
Bookings can be made on their website.<\/p>\n
For a leisurely lunch with a good bottle of Shiraz, the Gallery Bistro at Heathcote Winery will be warm and cozy.<\/p>\n
The gallery walls are lined with artwork by talented local artists.<\/p>\n
Lunch bookings are essential as tables are limited. Phone: 5433 2595.<\/p>\n
The Watering Hole will be serving lamb shanks with sweet potato mash and green beans for $75 per person.<\/p>\n
“The meal includes a red or white wine, coffee and cake,” said proprietor Joan Stammers.<\/p>\n
“Comfort food, perfect for special mums.”<\/p>\n
If more casual dining is preferred, Heathcote boasts three pizza venues, two fish and chip shops and two bakeries.<\/p>\n
For a that special gift, Swirls Gifts and D\u00e9cor offer jewellery, candles, crystals and kitchenware.<\/p>\n
The shop also has a range of fashionwear for all ages, including plus sizes.<\/p>\n
Rutherford & Maine have personally sourced gifts, homeware and fashion, set in a classic country cottage with a garden courtyard.<\/p>\n
You can stay for a coffee after browsing and four-legged friends are welcome in the courtyard with lots of pats and treats.<\/p>\n
Heathcote Post Office and Newsagency isn’t just for stamps and newspapers. They also offer a range of gifts and cards.<\/p>\n
“We have plenty of gift options for all kinds of mums,” said proprietor Rhonda Linnell.<\/p>\n
“And if you need help our staff would love to help Dad and the kids find something special for Mum.”<\/p>\n
If the special woman in your life likes cars, the second Heathcote Cars, Coffee and Bikes meet will take place in High Street on 12 May, between 9am and 12noon.<\/p>\n
Buy a coffee from one of the many nearby outlets and browse the classic bikes and cars on show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
