Celebrate Mother’s Day in Lodi: A Getaway for Every Kind of Mom

Lodi Wine Country is the perfect place to celebrate Mother’s Day weekend – and let’s be honest, Mom deserves more than just a card this year. She deserves an experience, a breath of fresh air, a glass of wine, and a chance to simply enjoy herself. If you’re planning a surprise getaway or you are the mom dropping hints, Lodi, California has just the escape for every kind of mama. Let’s find the best itinerary for the perfect Mother’s Day in Lodi.

🌿 For the Mom Who Needs a Relaxing Getaway

She’s been running the show—school runs, endless laundry, and snack duty! It’s time to end that to-do list and start a weekend of relaxation. Here are 3 things to book in advance for her relaxing getaway.

1) Spa Treatment

I don’t know any mom who wouldn’t want to celebrate Mother’s Day with a spa treatment. Want to be the best child or husband ever? Don’t just get her a gift card because odds are, she won’t have time to book it! Clear the schedule and pick a treatment at Wine and Roses Spa or Perfect Balance Day Spa. These spas offer top-of-the-line spa treatments, and both have an outdoor oasis with hot tubs, lush greenery, and more.

2) Book a Yoga Class

Nothing relieves stress like a good ol’ yoga session. Check out Wild and Well Yoga in downtown Lodi and drop in for a yoga class. They have options throughout the day for the moms who would love to sleep in.

3) Set the Scene with an Outdoor Picnic

A little sunshine, fresh air, and charcuterie? Sounds like the perfect day. Many Lodi wineries welcome outside food, making it easy to enjoy a laid-back picnic with your favorite sips. Prefer a scenic spot? Head to Lodi Lake for a relaxing afternoon by the water. Want to take it up a notch? Let Sittin’ Pretty Picnics handle the details and set up the most beautiful picnic you’ve ever experienced—effortless, elegant, and unforgettable. Don’t forget to pick up your gorgeous charcuterie board from Delicious Boards.

🍷 For the Mom Who Wants to “Un-Wine”

If she loves wine, she’ll love Lodi! With over 85 wineries and 125 varietals, Lodi Wine Country is a dream destination for wine lovers. And since Mom’s usually the one making all the plans, we’re making it easy for her to simply sip and relax—book a wine tour! Choose from three fantastic options: Lodi Wine Trolley, Coche Vino and Vintage Limo for a fun and stress-free day of tasting.
