Whether you send him on a guys’ weekend or plan a family trip, several destinations welcome dads and keep them busy. From Oregon wine country to the Colorado mountains and the beaches in the south, families are sure to find a destination for Father’s Day. Here are a few of our favorites:
Portland, Oregon (Wine Tours)
If dad is a wine connoisseur, plan a wine tasting tour of Portland’s wine country. Less than an hour from Portland, Willamette Valley offers over 250 wineries, small towns and open land. Many wineries host tasting tours that explore the vineyards and flavors that make this a must-see for any wine lover.
Destin, Florida (Fishing)
Book a Destin fishing charter for a day of deep-sea fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. Destin, known for its fishing fleets and competitions, has several charters specializing in trips for all skill levels. In addition, dad will fish with locals who know where to cast and capture big ones.
Vail, Colorado (Fly Fishing)
Colorado’s Vail Valley offers over 500 miles of rivers packed full of fish. Combine the rivers with warm temperatures, and dads can’t resist the trip. Several companies schedule guided fly-fishing trip and provide everything for a peaceful day on the water.
Breckenridge, Colorado (Mountain Biking)
Let him explore his adventourous side on the biking trails in Breckenridge. The town has over 100 miles of trails for bikers. Find smooth rides for new rides, moderate climbs with elevation changes, and action-packed downhill trails. All he’ll need is a helmet and bike to get started.
Palm Desert, California (Golf)
Palm Desert and La Quinta provide the ultimate golf vacation for dad. Lush greens, water features and majestic mountains pair with challenging holes he’ll want to play again and again. Choose from dozens of courses in Coachella Valley and tee up for a good time.

American history and Civil War buffs can’t resist Charleston. This historic city tops many best cities lists with its historical attractions, food scene and Southern charm. Dad will have a blast touring plantations, forts, museums and haunted spots.
