The Beach, Lake, River, or Pool
No matter where you live, local water sources are great places to have a picnic. They offer beautiful views, a place to cool off if it gets too warm, and ample picnic ready areas. We recently introduced wine cans to give picnickers a portable, packable, and glass-free option for enjoying picnics in these no-glass zones. Spread out, snack away, and enjoy a beautiful sunset waterside with a can of AVA Grace.

A Meadow or Clearing on a Hike
If you love hiking, fill your pack with food and drink, and setup camp a few miles in at a clearing or grassy meadow. Enjoy the wildlife and a nice rest mid-hike before continuing. If packing weight will be an issue, consider packing a picnic to have at the trailhead once you get back.

On Top of a Mountain
A spinoff of a mid-hike picnic, if you’re climbing a mountain, you’re likely climbing for an exceptional view. Spend a little more time up top by enjoying a picnic while taking it all in. Some easily transported picnic foods include AVA Grace wine in cans, trail mix, chocolate, dried fruit, and jerky.

In Your Living Room
Simple, and nearly effortless, you can always enjoy a picnic from the comfort of your own home by creating a comfy area to enjoy a spread of fruit, nuts, meat, and cheese. The best part about this picnic location is that you have easy access to your kitchen and to games or books from around your home.
