What to Pack for Your VINADA Picnic
When preparing for a picnic, organization is key. Here’s your ultimate packing list:
VINADA Alcohol-Free Wines: Whether you prefer a Tinteling Tempranillo Rosé, a light Crispy Chardonnay, or Amazing Airén Gold, VINADA has the perfect alcohol-free wine to complement any occasion.
Wine Cooler or Insulated Bag: To keep your VINADA wines perfectly chilled, invest in a small wine cooler or an insulated bag. This way, you can enjoy your drinks at the perfect temperature, even on the go!
Reusable Glasses or Wine Tumblers: Don't forget to pack eco-friendly, reusable glasses or wine tumblers to serve your VINADA in style.
Chilled Water: Hydration is key, especially on warm summer days. Always bring plenty of chilled water to balance out your alcohol-free beverages.
Picnic Blanket: A comfortable, large blanket to lay out your spread and relax on.
Cooler Bag for Snacks: Ensure that any perishable items stay fresh, such as cheese, dips, or salads.
Plates, Cutlery & Napkins: Don’t forget reusable or compostable plates, cutlery, and napkins to enjoy your food with ease.
Trash Bag: Keep your picnic area clean and eco-friendly by bringing a small bag for your waste.
Hand Wipes or Wet Towelettes: Handy for sticky fingers or small spills.
Corkscrew or Bottle Opener: Just in case you’re bringing any additional drinks that require opening.
Entertainment: A book, portable speaker for some music, or a fun game can elevate your picnic experience.
Insect Repellent or Citronella Candle: Keep pesky bugs at bay, especially near grass or water.
Bonus Tip: Don’t forget sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat to stay protected from the sun!
The Best Snacks to Pair with VINADA Wines
Now, let's talk food! What goes best with your favorite VINADA wine? Here are some delightful snack ideas to elevate your picnic spread:
VINADA Tinteling Tempranillo Rosé pairs beautifully with light, fresh bites like grilled chicken skewers, goat cheese, or caprese salad with mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil. A tangy fruit platter with strawberries, raspberries, and watermelon also complements the wine's fruity notes.
For a refreshing VINADA Crispy Chardonnay, think fresh seafood or vegan wraps with hummus, cucumber, and avocado. White wines also go beautifully with salmon, green salads with lemon dressing, or a platter of brie and crackers. The crispness of white wine cuts through rich flavors, offering a delightful balance.
VINADA Amazing Airén Gold wine is perfect for any celebration, so bring out your cheese board with soft cheeses like brie or cheddar, fresh fruit, and some crispy prosciutto. If you’re in the mood for something sweet, try pairing sparkling wine with mini fruit tarts or macarons.
Cheers!
