This year Father's Day comes right after the summer solstice a.k.a. the first day of summer, making it a perfect weekend to celebrate dad!

Here is a list of ideas to let him know how special he is!
1. Did someone say clambake? Stop by Colloca Estate Winery for a good ole' clambake that dear old dad will approve of!
2. Fire up the grill! Does Dad love to be the grill master? Well sometimes you just can't beat a hoffman hot in the backyard, but if you don't have time to fire up the grill then check out 10-10 BBQ in Moravia for some tasty BBQ!
3. Cheers - raise a glass with dad! Stop into one of our local breweries and grab some craft beer goodness to share with pops. Cayuga County produces a variety outstanding beers, wine and ciders.
