Workshops for Father’s Day You Should Offer Right Now
Ah, Father’s Day. The one day of the year where dads everywhere receive an endless supply of socks, “Best Dad Ever” mugs and, if they’re lucky, a power tool they may or may not know how to use. But let’s be real: your dad deserves better. Instead of adding to his growing collection of World’s Okayest Dad gifts, why not give him something he’ll actually enjoy?
At Hands On, we believe the best gifts come in experience form. Why? Because spending quality time together is worth way more than a generic gadget from the department store. Whether your dad is a master chef in the making, a creative genius waiting to be unleashed or just someone who enjoys a good beer (because, let’s be honest, most dads do), we’ve got a workshop for him.
So, put down the predictable gift set and check out some of the best Father’s Day workshops you can sign up for this year and discover some examples of our workshops for this special day.
Craft Beer Brewing Workshop
👉 Craft Beer Brewing Workshop: From Malt to Beer
We all know that dad who claims he can taste “notes of caramel and citrus” in his beer. If that sounds familiar, then this workshop is perfect for him. In this hands on class, he’ll learn the entire brewing process, from selecting malts to bottling his very own brew.
And let’s be honest, he’ll probably start referring to himself as a Master Brewer after just one session. But hey, at least this gift comes with beer!
Pastel de Nata Pastry Class
👉 Pastel de Nata Pastry Class in Lisbon
If your dad’s favorite phrase is “Let me try a bite of that”, then why not give him the gift of baking? This pastel de nata workshop in Lisbon will teach him how to make the iconic Portuguese custard tart from scratch.
Just picture it: Dad, proudly presenting a tray of golden, flaky pastéis de nata, looking like a contestant on The Great Portuguese Bake Off. Who knew he had it in him?
Carpentry Introduction Workshop
👉 Carpentry Introduction Workshop
If your dad’s idea of DIY is mostly watching YouTube tutorials, it’s time to get him into an actual carpentry workshop. This hands on class will teach him the basics of woodworking, without the risk of him breaking something at home first.
Whether he’s dreaming of making a bookshelf, a table or just proving that he can use a hammer without supervision, this workshop is a win. Bonus: he might even build you something one day. (No promises.)
Wine Tasting Workshop
Does your dad swirl his glass of wine at dinner like he knows what he’s doing? Help him take his “I can totally taste the oak” skills to the next level with a wine tasting workshop.
In this class, he’ll learn about different wine varieties, how to properly taste and pair them and get to sample some of the finest Portuguese wines. Just be prepared for him to start using words like tannins and body at the next family gathering.
Chilli Sauce Workshop
👉 Get Saucy with Us: A Chilli Workshop
If your dad’s go-to line is “This isn’t even spicy”, then put his taste buds to the test with a chilli sauce-making workshop. He’ll learn about different chilli varieties, experiment with flavors and create his own signature hot sauce.
Of course, there’s a small chance he’ll go overboard and accidentally set his mouth on fire. But hey, that’s all part of the fun!
Why a Workshop is the Perfect Father’s Day Gift
Still not convinced? Here’s why a workshop beats any other Father’s Day gift:
✅ It’s a unique experience. No more boring socks or generic cologne.
✅ It’s quality time together. Join the class with him and make some hilarious memories.
✅ It’s a break from the usual routine. Give him a chance to try something new.
✅ It’s a skill he can brag about. And trust us, he will brag about it.
So, instead of wrapping up another pair of socks, give your dad something he’ll actually remember. A workshop is more than just an activity, it’s a chance to bond, learn something new and, most importantly, create memories that last longer than a novelty tie.
