WHY PICNICS IN THE PARK CAN BE BETTER THAN DINING AT YOUR FAVOURITE RESTAURANT

While a traditional night out at a restaurant with friends is always something to look forward to, sharing unique experiences in new settings is what you’ll remember the most – especially if there’s time to connect meaningfully over good food and great produce. Here’s why we’re making room for more memorable experiences this summer and opting for luxury picnics in the park over a restaurant experience.

Beautiful Setting: A picnic takes you out of the confines of a restaurant and immerses you in the natural world. Surrounded by lush greenery and open (hopefully sunny) skies, you and your crew can kick back and relax in a setting you’ve chosen yourself. There’s nothing quite like dining with a view and Melbourne has a stack of great places to choose from, so make sure you get creative when you choose a spot to lay out your rug.

Personalised Experience: Picnics offer a highly personalised experience –  from the choice of location within the park to the meticulously curated decor, table settings and gourmet tastes. Every detail can be tailored to your preference, or if you want everything pre-packed and handled for you, do yourself a favour and book a group picnic through Twilight Picnics.

Curated Dining: Rather than being committed to a restaurant menu, luxury picnics in the park allow you to curate your own dining options so you and your friends can savour an array of tastes over a leisurely period of time. Be creative and as gourmet as you like!

Intimate Atmosphere: Without the distraction of a busy restaurant, there’s more opportunity for deeper conversations and bonding among friends. Bring along a speaker and listen to your favourite tunes or pack some games for a fun afternoon activity. If you’re looking to really connect with your friends, we recommend Esther Perel’s Where Should We Begin game of storytelling, which can be hired when you book a twilight picnic.

Photo-worthy Moments: The natural beauty of a park, combined with the your gorgeous picnic set-up, creates a stunning backdrop for photos. You'll have ample opportunities to capture special moments and create lasting memories with your friends.
