Father's Day, sorted
For the dads, the granddads and the dog dads
Father's Day lands on Sunday 6 September, which gives you just enough time to book something he'll actually use, instead of another tie or a gift card he'll forget about.
Dad, father-in-law, granddad, your dog's other favourite human, or the mate who taught you the difference between a shiraz and a grenache. Whoever it is, a food, wine, beer, or culinary experience beats a wrapped box every time. It's something to look forward to, and something to talk about long after the day is done.
We've rounded up our favourite brewery tours, distillery classes, winery visits and seafood adventures from around the country. Book in now, before the good dates are gone.
