Father's Day in Mandelieu
Cool, local gifts full of character (like our dads)
Sunday, June 15It's Father's Day. And this year, I had a mission: to find an original gift, a change from ties and "Daddy of Love" t-shirts, but one that's still thoughtful and truly reflects him.
My father is an epicurean. He loves good products, exquisite aperitifs, and the stories behind the bottles. So I went poking around... the Mandelieu Tourist Office shop, and… jackpot! Local products, with style and meaning, just what you need to make a tasteful statement!
Mimosa beer: a touch of sunshine in a glass 🌼
This is the perfect local treat to slip into your gift bag. Brewed in the Alpes-Maritimes region, this mimosa-flavored lager is as surprising as it is subtle.
Floral without being sweet, refreshing and light... it carries the city's DNA within it. And for a dad who loves good beers, it's a perfect nod, between terroir and originality.
Rum with mimosa: for dads who like elegance as a digestif 🥃
Another gem from the shop: the mimosa-flavored rum. A true culinary curiosity, sweet, fragrant, and sunny, to offer to those who enjoy sipping a small glass after a good meal. It's refined without being too sweet, and the bottle is so beautiful that you could almost place it as a decorative piece on the living room shelf (until they empty it, of course).
My favorite: the blonde beer with sea salt, committed and full of character 🌊
💙 So there, big crush.
It's a blond craft beer, sweet but with pep, to which a touch of sea salt has been added. The balance is amazing, it's easy to drink on its own, and it leaves a very pleasant salty note in the mouth.
But what I like most? For each bottle purchased, €1 is donated to an association for the protection of the oceans and whales.
In other words, offering this beer, it's also doing a small gesture for the planetAnd I know my dad – who gets upset when he sees a plastic bag in the sea – will really appreciate that.
If you, too, have a dad who loves good products, great stories, and sincere thoughtfulness, you'll find what you're looking for at the Mandelieu Tourist Office boutique. Between craft beers, mimosa rum, and sustainable products, this is a far cry from an impersonal gift.
We offer a moment. A flavor. A nod to our beautiful region. And lots of love, local style.
