PERFECT PICNICS: ROMANTIC RETREATS
Whisk your beloved away on a picturesque picnic with verdant vistas and elegant eats.

You don’t have to have a beautiful view for a romantic picnic, but it helps. Depending on where you live, there are plenty of options for venues with bags of charm to put you both in a starry-eyed mood. If three’s a crowd in romance, busy tourist spots may not be the best place. Also consider the weather and, particularly, the wind. If your chosen spot is on a hillside, think about the wind direction and shelter. If it’s been raining recently, choose somewhere that won’t be horribly boggy – a soggy bottom is an unappealing on a picnic as it is on cakes!
For a truly dreamy picnic, you need to consider the set-up – no dusty, dog-eared blankets from the boot of your car allowed! A stylish picnic rug is the first necessity. An elegant hamper is a close second, and many of these come ready stocked with their own charming napkins, crockery and cutlery. If you’re going to be dining where at a table, bring a tablecloth instead.
While they’re full of fun and adventure, picnics aren’t always the most comfortable of enterprises, which is bad news for would-be Romeos. So why not invest in some folding travel chairs which will stop aching joints from ruining the romance?
Dessert is definitely the key course for romance. Gourmade offers some wonderful desserts that are ideal for eating outdoors and sharing with your beloved. Try our gorgeous Raspberry Roulades or Raspberry Cheesecakes for a summery, flirty feel.
