Father’s Day is Sunday, June 19th—and if the dad on your list loves cheese, you’ve come to the right place to find the perfect gift. These are our recommendations for cheese gifts that dads will love—and if you can’t decide, let Dad do the shopping with a digital gift card that’s good for any of the cheese, gear, tastings, kits, and classes in our online store.
Join Our Virtual Cheese Tasting
If you can’t be with Dad in person this year, or if you want to eat beer and cheese together in the comfort of your home, you can learn about (and eat!) lots of tasty cheese over Zoom with the guidance of one of our friendly and helpful resident cheese experts. Our Father’s Day virtual tasting on Sunday, June 19th features the adventurous and delicious combination of artisan cheese and microbrews—grab tickets and your beer & cheese kit by Friday, June 10th!
Want to get the whole family together for a private virtual tasting or home cheesemaking class for the occasion? We can do that, too! Check out the options and get in touch with us to set up your event.
Artisan Cheeses from American Makers
For dads who love trying new things, pick out one of the cheese bundles in our online store, like this five-cheese pack from Vermont’s Cellars at Jasper Hill or a selection of aged sheep’s milk cheeses from Vermont Shepherd. Build him a custom box with goodies from our Build Your Own Box collection.
Want Dad to feel the love (and remember your great gift) well beyond Father’s Day? Consider a monthly or quarterly artisan cheese subscription, which will introduce him to new makers with each shipment.
Cheese Boards and Knives
Maybe Dad has the cheese sourcing on lock, but his gear collection could use some new toys. Check out our collection of sleek yet sturdy servingware, from our hand-carved bamboo knives to our new writable black resin cheese knife, which lets you label each utensil with its corresponding cheese. We’ve got circular slates, swanky servers, and even home cheesemaking kits, too.
Cheese Storage
Get Dad “the Mercedes-Benz of cheese”—a Cheese Grotto of his very own! Go for the roomy Classico if he’s a serious connoisseur (or likes to make and age cheese at home), the Fresco for regular cheese eaters, the Mezzo for more casual consumers (or smaller spaces), or the petite Piatto for the dad who likes to focus on a single great wedge at a time.
If he’s a real gearhead, make sure to pick up a hygrometer to go with it. That way, he can make sure the humidity inside the Grotto is always on point.
Cheese Experiences
If you are lucky enough to get to hang out with Dad on Father’s Day and want to show him you care with a beautiful cheese board or cheese and beverage tasting, we’ve got a ton of great guides you can use!
Here’s how to build the ultimate cheese board. And you can learn how to combine cheese with all kinds of delicious drinks—like whiskey, amaro, beer gin, and wine, not to mention honey, chocolate, jam, and sweets—with our pairing guides.
If you really want to put yourself into a Father’s Day gift this year, you can make Dad some homemade cheese like mozzarella, ricotta, mascarpone, feta, or even fresh chevre. And if you’re making brunch, dinner, or any meal in between for the occasion, check out our summer cheese recipes and our grilling with cheese guide!
