For the Foodie Dad
Father’s Day isn’t complete without a meal fit for the grill master himself. From Portland, Olympia Provisions’ Sausage Fest! gift set includes all of those tasty links you’ve heard him rave about but never really understood. Bratwurst, Frankfurter, Smoked Kielbasa, Italian sausage and Kasekrainer come ready for grilling — plus two beer koozies so you can get educated with a chilled beer in hand. | $45

For the Dad Who Has Everything
Some dads insist they don’t want presents. In that case, nothing beats the gift of quality time. Take him out for a relaxing experience of sipping in wine country alongside some sweet tunes. Concerts take place Father’s Day weekend at a variety of the region’s top wineries. In Oregon, cruise to Eugene’s Silvan Ridge Winery. Woodinville’s Chateau Ste. Michelle or Goldendale’s Maryhill Winery both host musicians in Washington; and Hester Creek is the place to be if you find yourself on the other side of the border, in Oliver, British Columbia.
