What better way to spend Mother’s Day weekend than by touring through great shops and nibbling your way through decadent chocolate in the Texas Hill Country? The perfect tour features amazingly indulgent shops that use locally-sourced ingredients, can give great wine pairing suggestions (also a Texas Hill Country touring favorite), and offer rich chocolate treats beyond your wildest dreams. It all means that touring with Mom to celebrate her special day is something the entire family can enjoy! If you think a chocolate tour in the Texas Hill Country is something your mother would like, here are a few stops to check out along the way.

Based in Austin, Delysia Chocolatier is owned and operated by Chef & Chocolatier Nicole Patel. It’s an award-winning shop, which was named among the Top 10 chocolatiers in both North and South America! Here, in her Texas Hill Country location, Patel ensures that all of their creations are handcrafted, paying fine attention to detail. They use “…only the finest quality chocolate from sustainable sources and freshest ingredients to create something unique, something memorable, something remarkable.”

For those of you who may recall the name, Chocolatier Susana Mijares of Délice Chocolatier & Patisserie in San Antonio was a former contestant on season 2 of the Spring Baking Championship on the Food Network! Thrusting this decadent shop into the limelight (and into the hearts of Texas Hill Country chocolate fans), the show featured only some of the great things that can be accomplished with chocolate. To see the rest, why not make the trip yourself? This shop would make an excellent stop on a Mother’s Day weekend chocolate tour.

Featuring “…unique, delicious Belgian chocolates since 2009,” Cathy’s Fine Chocolate would make a great addition to a chocolate tour itinerary, boasting custom-made truffles which are paired with the high-end product at many Texas wineries. They also cater to events and unique chocolate tastings, which are tops on our list for celebrating Mom on her special day, in the Texas Hill Country.
