Father’s Day is this Sunday, and if you’re looking for fun, thoughtful, or laid-back ways to show appreciation, Victoria has plenty to offer.
Whether Dad’s into good food, local craft beer, the outdoors, or just quality time with family, here are some great ways to celebrate him this weekend.


1. Take Him Out for Brunch or Dinner
Victoria’s dining scene is full of great options. Head to 10 Acres Commons or The Courtney Room for a stylish brunch, or treat Dad to a steak dinner at Bray’s or Boom + Batten with ocean views.
Make a reservation early — it’s a busy weekend for local restaurants!
2. Go Brewery-Hopping or Book a Tasting
If Dad loves a good craft beer or local wine, take him to one of Victoria’s excellent breweries like Driftwood Brewery, Phillips, or Whistle Buoy Brewing.
For something more refined, head to Church & State Wines just outside the city for a relaxing tasting experience.
3. Enjoy a Scenic Outdoor Activity
Spend the day outdoors with a walk around Beacon Hill Park, a beach stroll along Dallas Road, or a short hike up Mount Douglas (PKOLS).
If Dad’s more adventurous, consider booking a kayaking tour or whale-watching trip to make the day even more memorable.
4. Hit a Weekend Market
Stop by the Esquimalt Farmers Market or Moss Street Market to browse fresh produce, handmade goods, and tasty treats.
Grab a few locally made snacks and head to the park for an easy picnic with the whole family.
5. Give the Gift of Home
If you’re looking for something meaningful, consider giving the gift of future plans — maybe a backyard refresh, a home project Dad’s always dreamed of, or even starting the conversation about a bigger move. (We’re here if you need help with that 😉)
However you choose to celebrate, Father’s Day in Victoria is all about slowing down and enjoying time with the ones who matter most. Whether it’s over coffee, on a mountaintop, or just lounging at home, we hope you have a weekend full of laughter, good food, and appreciation for all the father figures in your life.
Happy Father’s Day from all of us at Coastal Living Collective!
