Here’s your prompt to pack a basket and find a pretty spot to enjoy the beauty of the season. I love how spontaneously perfect a picnic can be. While a formal menu is always worth compiling, it is equally as magical to pluck a block of cheese, bottle of wine, and any extra accompaniments for your hour al fresco. Bring a book or play some tunes on your phone, and enjoy the scenery!
Bella Vita’s new insulated wicker basket has a lid that doubles as a cheese board — it couldn’t be more ideal. I pulled out a bottle of chilled Morgan Chardonnay to enjoy with our spread and keep us cool under the sun.
Conscientiously farmed since the original plantings in 1997, the Morgan’s Double L Estate Vineyard is the only certified organic vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands. This Chardonnay is seriously one of the most versatile food wines!
Where will your next picnic take place? Whether in the park, on the water, or in your backyard, I hope yours is just as effortlessly magical.
