Top Western Father’s Day Gift Ideas

Father’s Day is not just about gifts. It is about honoring the strength, presence, and everyday adventures that dads bring into our lives. It is a chance to say thank you for the early mornings, the late nights, and the life lessons passed down like a favorite pair of worn boots.

And sometimes, the best way to celebrate that spirit is with something just as genuine – a gift that invites him into a new adventure.

There’s just something about a luxury guest ranch that brings you back to those simple, meaningful moments. At Alisal Ranch, those moments are not just part of the experience – they are the experience. Set on 10,500 acres of California’s rolling hills, our ranch invites you to slow down, breathe deep, and reconnect with the spirit of the West.

This Father’s Day, give the dad in your life a gift that carries a bit of that feeling. Whether it is a rugged getaway, a handcrafted keepsake, or a sip of something smooth, we have rounded up a few Western-inspired ideas to make him feel celebrated in true Alisal fashion.

Experiences

Barbecue University

If your dad is happiest behind a grill, there is no better gift than a few unforgettable days at Barbecue University. Hosted right here at Alisal Ranch, this hands-on event is the ultimate experience for grill masters and backyard chefs alike.

Led by Barbecue Hall of Famer, Steven Raichlen from September 2nd through September 5th, 2025, Barbecue University dives deep into the art and science of open-flame cooking followed by a festive five course lunch, craft beers, and local wines.

The Barbecue University experience, including accommodations for three nights, is more than a gift, it is an experience he will remember every time he fires up the grill. Learn more about Barbecue University here.

A Golf Getaway

Our Preferred Golf Package is your ticket to the ultimate guys’ getaway. Dad will wake up in luxury ranch-style accommodations, enjoy a hearty gourmet breakfast, and then head out to the greens with access to both of Alisal’s incredible courses. Whether he wants to tee off on the private Alisal Ranch Course or take on the public gem of The River Course, he will be surrounded by the rolling beauty of the Santa Ynez Mountains.

After a day on the fairways, there is more to enjoy. Our package includes complimentary wine tastings with local partners, incredible dinners with an extensive wine list, and cocktails at the historic Oak Bar — all included in the nightly rate. Learn more about our Preferred Golf Package here.
