Let’s be honest... he doesn’t need another tie, money clip, or mug with the grandkids’ faces on it.
What your dad (or father figure) really wants? Time together, and maybe a little adventure.
With Father’s Day on the horizon, let’s hear it for the dads, stepdads, uncles, grandpas, and every guy who’s earned the title of father figure. If you’re looking for a gift he’ll never forget,
how about a getaway built around what he truly loves?
Planning a trip with him — or for him — can be tricky. But when it’s centered on something he’s passionate about? Instant win. Whether he’s into history, bourbon, golf, or game day
energy, these destinations are perfect for making meaningful (and seriously fun) memories together 🤗
ST ANDREWS, SCOTLAND | FOR THE GOLFER
Tee off at the Old Course, sip single malt at the 19th hole, and take in sweeping views of the North Sea. St Andrews is golf’s holy ground, paired with castle ruins, coastal walks, and the
charm of a proper pub.
⛳️ Why He’ll Love It: He’ll get to play on legendary greens while soaking in the history and heritage of golf’s birthplace, before winding down the day with a dram and a view.
👉 Pro Tip: Book early for a tee time at the Old Course! It’s on every golfer’s bucket list. At least 18 months in advance or have plenty of flexibility on dates. Or play nearby Kingsbarns for a hidden gem feel.
We know all the best tours, hotels and hidden gems to make a Scotland trip amazing.
KENTUCKY BOURBON TRAIL | FOR THE SPIRITS
ENTHUSIAST
Tour iconic distilleries, enjoy tastings in charming small towns, and take a behind-the-scenes look at bourbon making. Add a scenic drive, boutique hotels, barbecue, and live bluegrass, and you’ve got a trip that’s relaxed and full of flavor.
🥃 Why He’ll Love It: He’ll feel like a kid in a (bourbon-filled) candy store, with tastings, barrels, and enough character to satisfy every whiskey-loving dad. Where to sip.
👉 Pro Tip: Add a hands-on blending session or a private tasting for something special - and don’t skip the hot chicken in Louisville!
LONDON, ENGLAND | FOR THE SPORTS FAN
Catch a Premier League match, tour Wimbledon or Lord’s Cricket Ground, and explore iconic sports pubs in between visits to Big Ben and Borough Market. You can pair this with a few days in Manchester or Liverpool if he’s a real diehard.
🏏 Why He’ll Love It: He’ll be in sports heaven, where stadium chants, passionate fans, and pub-side game recaps make for the ultimate match day.
👉 Pro Tip: Want VIP vibes? Let’s snag hospitality tickets or arrange a behind-the-scenes stadium tour before the match. Also, he'll sleep well. London is absolutely one of our most favorite cities to plan and the hotel scene is next level amazing.
NORMANDY, FRANCE | FOR THE HISTORY BUFF
Stand on the beaches of D-Day, walk through medieval towns, and visit WWII museums that will move you both. It’s a powerful destination filled with stories, perspective, and striking
coastal views.
🪖 Why He’ll Love It: He’ll be moved by the significance of standing where history happened, and walk away with a deeper appreciation for the past.
👉 Pro Tip: Consider a private guide who can personalize the experience based on your family's interests or service history. It truly makes all the difference! We've had wonderful experiences working with the best guides and tours in the area. Wonderful boutique hotels, great food scene, and amazing coastal villages round out the experience. Easy to combine with Paris too.
Let’s plan something he'll never forget. These trips aren’t just fun... they’re intentional, thoughtful, and built around shared memories. You might even earn “favorite child” status... just saying 😉
