    Eden West: Mother's Day in the Hill Country

    Eden West, that outpost of extraordinary cuisine from Sonya Cote and company, invites you to stop by Driftwood's sotol-celebrating Desert Door Distillery to partake of a fine brunch this day. Pro tip: The huevos rancheros and brunch tacos go perfectly with a sotol Paloma cocktail … and few things go better with mom, we reckon, than a Hill Country Sunday.

    Mother's Day at William Chris Vineyards

    They say that moms and wine go together like … well, like wine and moms, right? We sure won't argue with that bit of wisdom, not when the Hill Country's William Chris Vineyards is offering their Chef's Food & Wine Pairing – an elevated experience hosted in the Hye Society's private room, featuring chef Josh Tye's curated experience of small bites built around seasonal ingredients to perfectly pair with those William Chris wines. Ah, that's it – maybe moms and wine go together like ... wine and cheese? Or wine and charcuterie? Or – maybe we'll just hush up and make those reservations now.
    Sun., May 9. $40.
