In New Zealand, a picnic simply means a pleasurable outing at which a tasty meal is eaten outdoors, preferably in a beautiful location. But did you know that the relaxing and carefree act of eating outdoors and sharing quality time with those you care about has its roots back in the medieval times in England?

Picnics evolved from the elaborate traditions of outdoor feasts enjoyed by the wealthy. Medieval hunting feasts and Renaissance era country banquets can be credited with laying the foundation of the outdoor dining experiences we enjoy today. The history of picnicking is credited to the Europeans, and nowadays people all around the world enjoying participating.

Our Heritage Picnic comes in a traditional cane hamper with a three course meal of cheeses, crackers, bread, meats, selection of salads, special desert, fruit, coffee and bottle of New Zealand wine. All inclusive of glasses, cutlery, and of course a picnic rug on which to spread and to sit and enjoy!

So as long as you are relaxing, enjoying the scenery with friends scrumptious foods….you are practicing the art of picnicking!

If you would like to enjoy a picnic supper, why not have a picnic in Hinemoa Park, Little Shoal Bay or enjoy a summer evening at Takapuna Beach.
