Styled picnic in Tuscany among hills and olive groves
A styled picnic on a hillside or in an olive grove for a couple, a family or a small group of friends, with food, wine and shade.
A picnic in Tuscany suits an occasion without formality: the morning after an engagement, an anniversary, a friend's birthday, a trip with parents. We pick a private plot in the hills or in an olive grove where nobody will disturb you, and prepare everything needed for a comfortable day on the grass. This format works best in spring and early autumn. In summer we move it to the morning or the evening, and in the heat we add an awning and more water. All you need to bring is a good mood.
What we arrange
Choosing the place
We find a private plot with a view of the hills, an olive grove or the edge of a vineyard. We agree access with the owner and where you may park.
Baskets of food
We prepare cheeses, Tuscan cured meats, bread, vegetables, seasonal fruit and a dessert. The menu can be vegetarian or gluten-free, and simple dishes can be added for children.
Wine and drinks
We choose local wines, water and juices. We bring glasses and cooling, so everything stays cold until the end of the day.
Setting up the spot
We lay out blankets and a low table, cushions, a parasol or an awning. We choose colours to match your occasion and the setting, without needless plastic.
A light programme
On request we add games, books, a photographer or a musician who plays quietly. For children we prepare activities that need no supervision near the road.
Clearing up and taking away
After the picnic we collect everything we brought and leave no rubbish on the plot. The owner gets the place back as you found it.
Tell us about your celebration
Tell us the occasion, the date and the number of guests. We will suggest a format, a venue and vendors, and prepare a fixed written estimate before any work starts.
Where we help most
We choose the hour, not only the place
Light in the hills is best in the morning and towards evening. We set the picnic for the hours when it is not hot and the light is good, and take the season into account.
We deal with the landowners
Private land in Tuscany cannot be used without permission. We agree access, parking and the rules in advance, so you do not have to think about it.
An awning and a plan for wind
Wind and sudden clouds are common in the hills. We bring weights for the tablecloths, an awning, and think through a nearby spot where you can shelter.
A picnic without the fuss
We arrive earlier, set everything up before you come and leave after you. You see a laid table, not the process of assembling it.
Frequently asked questions
What time of year is best for a picnic in Tuscany?
Spring and early autumn are best, when it is warm but not hot. In summer the picnic moves to the morning or evening, and in winter it usually needs an awning and warm clothes.
How many people can I invite?
The format is built for a couple, a family or a small group of friends. For a larger party we will suggest another format, such as a dinner at a villa.
Can the picnic be held anywhere?
No. Most land in Tuscany is private, so we agree with the owner. Nature reserves and the areas near monuments have their own rules, and we check them.
What if it rains?
We follow the forecast and decide the day before. If rain is certain, we move the picnic to another day or to a covered space with a similar atmosphere.
Do we need to bring anything ourselves?
No. We bring the food, the drinks, the tableware, the blankets and the furniture. You only need comfortable clothes and shoes for walking on grass.
