The arrival of June might signal sun cream and Solero season, but come the 15th, it also marks Father's Day. If you’re tired of giving Pops the same rotation of socks, lager and that bottle of Dior Sauvage, we’ve scouted out the best food and drinks gifts instead.
From boujee steak boxes and charcuterie spreads to bold single malts and even a gut health starter pack (mum will thank you later) – these are the best food and drink gifts for Father’s Day.
Best food and drink gifts for Father’s Day
Cune Reserva 2021
Cune Reserva 2021
This rioja reserva is the bottle for dads who know their way around a wine list – or like to think they do, anyway. Sourced from chalky clay vineyards in Rioja Alta and aged 18 months in American and French oak, it delivers a beautifully balanced glass of red fruit, liquorice, toffee and warm spice. Round, fresh and dangerously drinkable, it's the kind of wine that turns a Sunday roast into a proper occasion. Refined without being fussy, and outstanding at the price. Available at Majestic, Ocado, Sainsbury's, Waitrose and Wholefoods.

Deanston 18-year-old
Deanston 18-year-old
For the dad who knows his whisky from his wallop, this Highland single malt is a quiet heavyweight. Distilled inside a converted 1966 cotton mill on the River Teith, matured entirely in first-fill American oak ex-bourbon barrels and bottled at 46.3% without chill filtration, it's creamy, honeyed and full of character. Vanilla, malt, barley sugar and a warming finish of spiced ginger make every sip worth savouring. No shortcuts, no colouring, no compromise. Just proper, old-school Highland whisky that rewards the patient dad.

Angus and Oink seasoning and rubs
Angus and Oink rubs
If your Dad likes to think of himself as the king of the barbecue, but maybe his steaks could use a little vibrancy, Angus and Oink is the upgrade his cooking has been waiting for. Born of a genuine obsession with the world's great food cultures, these rubs and sauces translate smoky classics and street-food fireworks into blends that actually tell a story. Whether he's grilling, smoking, roasting or gleefully causing chaos in the kitchen, every shake delivers something memorable. No fuss, no filler, just bold, considered flavour that banishes bland for good.

Takamaka Rum Blanc
Takamaka Rum Blanc
If gifting a beach holiday isn't in the budget, this is the next best thing. Founded by brothers Bernard and Richard d'Offay, Takamaka blends light molasses rum with a touch of high-ester spirit for something vibrant, creamy and distinctly Seychelles in character. Soft fruit aromas, a hint of fresh grassiness and a clean, balanced finish make it wonderfully versatile. Try it long over ice with pink grapefruit soda and a squeeze of fresh fruit. Dangerously drinkable, smooth and seriously good.

It's the kind of gift that turns a quiet weekend afternoon into something worth marking, with every element chosen to complement rather than compete. You can't really go wrong with charcuterie, cheese, and cyder.
