Father’s Day is a time to celebrate the dads in our lives, and what better way to do that than with a gift that reflects their passion for wine? If your dad enjoys a good glass of wine, a trip to the local tasting room, or BBQing in the backyard on this special holiday, then selecting the perfect Father’s Day wine gift will be a breeze!
Use this guide to Father’s Day wine gifts to toast Dad this holiday.
The Grill Master
For the dad who loves to grill steaks and burgers, consider red wines like Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, or Malbec. These bold wines are the perfect pairing to these meaty and smoky flavors.
The Summer Sipper
If dad’s summer plans call for lighter grilled dishes like salmon, shrimp, chicken, or veggies, go with lighter wines like Pinot Noir, Beaujolais (Gamay), a crisp rosé, or refreshing Riesling. All three of these bottles make great Father’s Day wine gifts and pair well with chicken, fish, and salads.
The Wine Adventurer
Does your dad enjoy trying new grape varieties and producers? Why not introduce him to a lesser-known grape varietals, wine regions, or an up-and-coming produce he hasn’t tried before. Consider wines from Valle de Guadalupe wineries (located in Mexico’s Baja wine region), Explore options like an Assyrtiko from Sardinia, a Vernaccia from Tuscany, or a bottle of Teroldego.
Dads Who Love Fine Wines
Luxury wines are always a good Father’s Day wine gift idea. And cracking open a bottle like this will always impress Dad’s friends at the BBQ when he is entertaining. You can’t go wrong with wines from Silver Oak (a luxurious Napa Cabernet), Opus One (another premium Napa Cabernet Sauvignon), or Chateau Montelena’s premium California Chardonnay.
The Tech-Savvy Dad
For the dad who loves gadgets, there are plenty of wine accessories that can elevate his wine drinking experience, whether he’s kicking back relaxing or hanging out with other wine loving dads. An electric wine opener makes uncorking bottles a breeze, while a wine aerator can enhance the flavor and aroma of the wine. A temperature control wine fridge keeps his favorite bottles at the perfect temperature.
The Entertaining Dad
If your dad loves to entertain, then a wine decanter is a thoughtful Father’s Day wine gift. A decanter allows the wine to breathe, improves its taste, and looks great as part of a wine presentation at a dinner party. A set of beautiful wine glasses is another great option that can enhance his tasting experience and let him enjoy his wine in style.
The Organized Dad
For the dad who appreciates a well-organized wine cellar, a wine rack or a wine storage system is a practical gift that he will find useful all year long. This will help him keep his wine collection organized, protected, and easily accessible the next time he wants to enjoy a bottle at home or take a bottle to a restaurant for corkage.
The Curious Wine Connoisseur
If your dad is always up for trying new wines, then a gift card to a local winery or wine bar is a great option. This will allow him to explore different varietals and regions at his own pace. This is also a wine gift that moms will appreciate too!
The Social Butterfly
For the dad who enjoys socializing, consider a gift card to a wine-tasting event or class. This is a fun way for him to learn more about wine and meet other wine enthusiasts. The WSET program has tons of wine class options.
Last but not least, if you’re still stuck on what kind of Father’s Day wine gift to get dad, why not surprise him with one of his favorite bottles of wine, and then take him to his favorite restaurant for lunch or dinner.
Just be sure to check the restaurant’s corkage fee before you go!
