If you're stuck on what Dad might like this year, we know one of the below gift ideas for Father’s Day is sure to do the trick (and even have you as the favourite child!) Shall we make this the best celebration yet? Absolutely yes.
1. Wine
A beautiful Mornington Peninsula cool-climate wine? Now that sounds just perfect. We are truly blessed with the variety of inspiring wineries and cellar doors around the region, each offering unique estate-grown tastes and flavours. And whether a red, white or sparkling wine drinker, Dad will no doubt enjoy a bottle (or two) from one of the exemplary vineyards located between the coast and country.
