HOW TO PLAN A LUXURY PICNIC IN MELBOURNE FOR YOUR SPECIAL SOMEONE
Your turn to organise date night or want to do something really special for your partner? Before you book that fancy restaurant, you might want to consider a more intimate choice. Whether it’s for a special occasion or just because, few experiences rival the intimacy and romance of a luxury picnic.
Follow our tips for planning a luxury picnic date in Melbourne that you and your partner remember forever.
Location, location, location
Start by choosing the perfect location – somewhere picturesque that fits your vibe as a couple. A tranquil park in your local neighbourhood, a hidden bank on the Yarra or a gorgeous spot at the Botanic Gardens. The setting should exude the romantic ambiance you're aiming for.
Timing Matters
Opt for a time that allows you to enjoy both daylight and a breathtaking sunset. A twilight picnic is ideal for setting the mood, but a daytime picnic can be just as lovely. Pack a picnic and take it with you on a lovely day trip to the many wine regions surrounding Melbourne's city – visit Werribee Mansion or head out to the Surf Coast.
Elevate the Atmosphere:
If you want a truly luxurious picnic in Melbourne, Invest in high-quality picnic essentials like a plush picnic blanket, elegant tableware, comfortable cushions and classy decorations. Low tables or chic picnic furniture can also add an extra touch of sophistication. We also love the inclusion of fairy lights and a bouquet of flowers.

Indulge in Gourmet Delights:
A luxury picnic is incomplete without gourmet food. Consider having your picnic catered by a picnic supplier or if you want to DIY, curate a selection of beautiful cheeses, charcuterie, fresh fruits and delectable desserts. If you want something more savoury mini quiches are a great option too. Don't forget to include a bottle of your favourite drop to elevate the dining experience.
Entertainment and Activities:
Activities can keep the date engaging too. Pack a speaker to take turns streaming your favourite songs, bring a game to play or encourage meaningful connection with Esther Perel’s game of storytelling: Where Should We Begin.
Provide Comfortable Seating:
After a big meal, you’ll want to relax even further. Having cushions to lean sit on and lean into as well as cosy blankets to throw over as the sun sets, will ensure you remain comfortable.
Final Tip: Don't forget to pack some garbage bags and some wipes to make the clean-up fuss-free
