What kinds of picnic experiences does RedBalloon offer?
The range covers outdoor luxury picnics, mystery picnics and vineyard experiences, each set in a location chosen for the view and the atmosphere. Some come with a curated food and drink selection; others involve following clues to a surprise destination. All equipment and food is arranged before you arrive. No hamper-packing required.
What is a mystery picnic experience?
A mystery picnic is a guided experience where you follow clues to a secret location. Along the way you collect pre-arranged food and drinks from local producers and arrive at a scenic spot where the spread is already waiting. The route and destination are a surprise, which makes it a strong pick for a date or a birthday. Available across several major cities.
Are picnic experiences good for couples?
Yes. The format is relaxed by design: no schedule to keep, no performance required, just good food and a good setting. Works well as a birthday gift, an anniversary gift or a standalone date for two. Many of the vineyard options include a bottle of estate wine with the booking, which rounds out the experience nicely.
