Mother’s Day is May 14, and foodie moms might appreciate a flight of mimosas, etouffé, sparkling wine, live jazz or crêpes in a spot that feels like a trip to Paris.
In Los Gatos, Enoteca La Storia offers an Italian-inspired brunch from 11am to 4pm, with Eggs in Purgatory; asparagus and fontina or smoked salmon and mascarpone frittatas; Italian Benedict, and paninis with Sicilian tuna or truffled prosciutto cotto. Add a flight of flavored mimosas or an Aperol spritz. Make a reservation at https://www.exploretock.com/enotecalastorialosgatos.
Wrights Station on Summit Road offers three different Mother’s Day brunch boxes from Chef Jennifer Chiarella of Tessora’s Barro di Vino in Campbell to accompany a flight of four wines, including the new 2022 rosé. Choose from smoked salmon pinwheel with lemon herb cream cheese; candied bacon rosette; or roasted veggie and tomato hummus with spiraled zucchini. All brunch boxes include cherry burrata salad; a decadent deviled egg duo; mini Irish cheddar scones and whipped chive butter; banana bread baked doughnut holes and blackberry bostock. Reservations are $55 per person at https://www.exploretock.com/wrightsstation/experience/338012/mothers-day-brunch-tasting.
The Tasting House in Los Gatos tempts Moms with brunch and New Orleans jazz, plus gift collections of chocolates and fine wines, like Marion-Bosser Brut 1er Cru rosé champagne accompanied by chocolates from California-based Compartes. Consider a gift of a monthly chocolate, cheese or wine subscription.
In Los Altos, Campagne One Main at the Enchanté Hotel offers both Saturday and Sunday brunch from 10:30 a.m. until 2.p.m., for moms who love French-style cuisine, including crêpes. Al fresco dining here is reminiscent of a charming café along the Champs Elysée in Paris, with traffic whizzing by.
For moms who want a little sparkle in their day, Rootstock in Los Gatos and Mountain View will feature bubbly tastings from 1-3 p.m.
