Celebrated annually in honoring fathers, fatherhood and paternal bonds, this special day pays tribute to the influence of fathers in society. Upscale Living magazine went in search of a few spoils for the special fathers out there, who deserve something exceptional.

OFF-ROADING AT ASHFORD CASTLE IN IRELAND

Ashford Castle, the historic 800-year-old castle in western Ireland that is celebrating 80 years operating as a luxury hotel this year, just introduced its newest activity for dads to experience Western Ireland?s rugged landscape: Off-Roading. Olympian David O?Loughlin designed two courses for guests to experience these scenic Irish lands: a 1.5-hour course around the grounds of Ashford, and a ?Discover Connemara? full-day course that takes approximately seven hours to cover the full terrain in Derroura Forest Park, considered the ?gateway to Connemara.? Participants will learn how to drive their vehicle across the challenging terrain for this action-packed experience, including obstacles such as the bumpy ?Rock Garden? and the ?Tipping Point? triangle. The course also offers a deep-water crossing, rut driving, descents and ascents and side slope driving maneuvers in the Derroura forest. To unwind after a long down on the road, dads can try some of Ireland?s best whiskeys, including Ashford?s very own bespoke Midleton Very Rare Cask, in the Castle?s Billiards Room, and end the evening in the adjoining Cigar Terrace.
