For Dads who love a cheeky cocktail…

Cocktail

Cocktail making classes are one of our most popular experiences in Australia, which is why they would be perfect for Dad. Whether your dad is a newbie eager to refine his cocktail skills or just enjoys sipping on a well-crafted drink, he'll love learning from some of the best bartenders in town. Our cocktail making classes are not just about shaking up tasty drinks, you’ll be able to learn the art and history behind each drink. Your dad will be guided by friendly bartenders who are passionate about their craft and eager to share their knowledge. Dad will get behind the bar, learn all about different spirits and discover how to balance flavours perfectly, all while having fun.

If your father prefers something a little different, consider gifting him a beer brewing class or whiskey tasting experience in Australia, where he can indulge in his favourite spirit while learning more about its rich history and delicious flavour profiles.

For the green thumbs…

Terrarium

If your dad has a green thumb or appreciates the great outdoors, then a terrarium making class is the perfect gift for Dad. In terrarium making classes, he'll get hands-on experience creating his own miniature garden under expert guidance from a friendly teacher. It’s a relaxing activity that balances creativity and mindfulness, where Dad will learn how to choose the best plants, decorate his DIY terrarium and understand how to take care of it at home. A terrarium making class is also a great way to help Dad unwind and slow down, as well as find a new hobby in 2024.

Your passionate teacher will guide Dad through each step of creating their own unique piece of glass art. Learn how to heat, bend and shape molten glass into intricate shapes Dad will never expect, from a glass paperweight, bauble or even just some abstract art!
