Not sure what to get Dad for Father’s Day? You’re not alone in this dilemma – no socks and jocks this year please!
Don’t despair, we have you covered with five great gift ideas for discerning Dads:
Treat Dad with a Tasting Box
Albion foodies find an industrial coffee oasis at Neighbourhood Coffee Roasters on Sandgate Road. Nestled in Albion Fine Trades, this Brisbane specialty roaster and café delivers delicious fare along with coffee beans and brewing gear in funky surrounds of exposed and polished concrete, trailing greenery and shelves groaning with products.
Treat Dad to a tasting box of coffee blends to try at home such as cherry bomb, golden ticket and smooth operator, or coffee accessories such as a three-cup caffetteria French Press to make his morning brew, along with a ceramic coffee storage cannister; alternatively, purchase a gift card and let Dad choose for himself.
Horse & Vine Experience
Kersbrook Hill Wines on South Para Road in Kersbrook is the place to head for boutique wines and cider of the highest quality in a style that is truly distinctive. Located in the beautiful Adelaide Hills, visit the cellar door, experience a private winery tour or celebrate your special occasion in style at this rustic venue where you can relax alfresco under a vine-covered patio amongst wine barrels.
Treat Dad to the Horse & Vine Experience and interact with Kersbrook’s herd of horses as well as enjoy a wine tasting at the cellar door and a pizza to share; for those who can’t make it to the vineyard, order Dad a bottle online such as the 2016 Expat Shiraz, or Strange Bedfellows red blend made from both French and Spanish grapes.
Chef-prepared Father’s Day Meals
Discover restaurant-quality, Chef-prepared meals for you to reheat at home along with professional catering services at Black Truffle Catering on Cromwell Street in Collingwood. There is no need to spend time in the kitchen when you can spend precious time with friends and family – from gourmet dinners to indulgent quiches, moussaka, delicious desserts and wine to choose from, Black Truffle has you covered.
Take all the hassle out of Father’s Day celebrations with at-home main meals such as lemon herb chicken fillet with broccoli and cauliflower rice, greens and walnut pesto, or beef bourguignon, Paris mash and mixed vegetables; perhaps pick up a lunch platter with sandwiches, Turkish pides and French baguettes for a picnic in the park.
Gin Tasting Masterclasses for Dad
From the sun and sand to cherished conversations with friends, everything tastes better over a drink – head to Bondi Liquor Co on O’Brien Street in Bondi Beach to enjoy life. The first operating distillery in the heart of Bondi Beach, all products are distilled onsite including gin, vodka and liqueurs that are simple, clean and wherever possible, organic and sustainable made using Australian-grown botanicals.
Dad can discover a haven for relaxation, good vibes and connecting with like-minded people as he learns the art of gin tasting in a masterclass or he can even blend his own drop; think spirits like Morning Bondi saltwater gin, vodka and limoncello, made into cocktails like gin bramble with a delightful balance of tart blackberry, sweet liqueur and juniper gin with a refreshing citrusy finish.
