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.
