Father’s Day is more than just a calendar date it’s a celebration of strength, wisdom and unconditional love. For those seeking to honor Dad with something truly extraordinary this year, Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa has curated a weekend and an entire month filled with experiences as refined and memorable as he is.
A Storybook Setting Awaits
Tucked into the rolling hills of Rancho Santa Fe, Rancho Valencia isn’t just a resort it’s a retreat of rustic elegance and Mediterranean charm. With its lush citrus groves, tiled fountains and bougainvillea-draped casitas, this five-star escape feels like stepping into a scene from a dream.
This year, the resort invites families to reimagine how they celebrate Dad. Forget the usual grill in the backyard or last-minute necktie. Instead, think flame-grilled steak under open skies, craft spirits tasting stations and a brunch served with a side of sunshine and sophistication.
Brunch Becomes an Artform
On Sunday, June 15, Rancho Valencia presents its exclusive Courtyard Brunch an epicurean affair designed with Dad in mind. Anchored by an open flame grilled steak station, guests can choose from a selection of prime cuts while customizing their plates with a bounty of sides. Think fluffy scrambled eggs, gourmet salads and an indulgent baked potato bar. Each bite is a toast to Dad’s great taste.
But the indulgence doesn’t stop at the plate. Tasting stations offer sips of curated craft beer, top-shelf tequila, and artisanal mezcal ideal for the father who appreciates a good pour. And to cap off the experience, every guest gets to select a take-home gift a keepsake to remember the day by.
Prefer a la carte dining? The iconic Pony Room menu will also be available from 10 am to 3 pm. Known for its relaxed elegance and exceptional fare, the Pony Room is a local favorite with a twist of old-school California cool.
After Brunch Comes Playtime
Once brunch has satisfied every craving, the celebration continues outdoors. Picture a sun-drenched lawn, crackling firepits and the US Open Final Round playing live for sports-loving dads. Guests can join in for classic lawn games, sip another drink by the fire or simply kick back and soak in the moment.
This post-brunch hangout isn’t just an afterthought it’s Rancho Valencia’s way of inviting guests to linger, relax and enjoy each other’s company in a setting designed for connection.
