Overview
When the weather gets warmer, the days longer and the skies sunnier, Paris starts to emerge from its hibernation. There really is nothing like spring and summer in the City of Lights. Parisians flock to the closest park to lay their picnic blankets, unwrap some fromage and open up that first bottle of rosé for the season. So this summer it's high time to take a page from the French way of living — rosé in hand.
With a little help from Jacob's Creek, this summer you can live la vie en rose, or rather, rosé at the Le Petit Picnic on Sunday, February 3 in the Royal Botanic Garden's scenic rose garden. At the four-hour French-fuelled picnic, you'll sip bottomless pours of the winemaker's new Le Petit Rosé Brut Cuvée, a French-style rosé now with bubbles, plus the number one rosé in Australia, Le Petit Rosé, as you take in sweeping views of the Harbour.
There'll be no need to worry about packing your own basket, as your ticket includes a hamper with gourmet lunch for your group, a picnic rug and all tableware necessary. Sunscreen and insect repellent will also be available, so you really only need to bring yourself and your appreciation for the finer things.
Alongside food and drink, there'll be live DJ sets, a 'pimp your rosé' station and a flower crown making workshop. Plus, you can learn to play pétanque (French-style lawn bowls) and make it your game for the summer since each group will also get a boules set to take home.
Le Petit Picnic costs $255 for your party of three or $340 for four ($85 per person), with everything included in the ticket price. Tickets are limited, so head to the event page to score a spot for you and two amis.
