Summer is associated with trips to nature, lazy moments of rest in the meadows or by the water and snacks taken with you. Turn your holiday into a summery and unforgettable experience by organizing a luxurious picnic near nature .

Historical picnics, as we imagine them today, are associated with the era of romanticism and decadence at the beginning of the 19th century, when there was a return to nature and the glorification of everything related to it. And what is more natural than a healthy meal in the fresh air? But in 17th-century France, a picnic was an indoor meal, to which each guest came with snacks or drinks, a kind of basket. these two aspects - a meal in the fresh air and snacks provided by each guest - came together when public and private transport developed at the beginning of the 20th century and people increasingly went on day-long trips outside the city. It is logical that in the fresh air near nature hunger will quickly arise and in that case a picnic is the right meal concept.

The main thing in a picnic is the environment and the surrounding landscape. Picnic is associated with a slightly bohemian, free and relaxed atmosphere, basking in the sun, various entertainments and games. Today, picnics are no longer just a sandwich to take on a hike. These are curated and thoughtful events. You can also go out in nature with style - that's what tells vacationers , who conjured up countless charming picnics and organized celebrations for their guests.

Picnic - your private space

As tells vacationers , the picnic concept is so cool because you can be in nature and experience something amazing and elegant at the same time - you arrive in the middle of the forest and everything is arranged and prepared for you. All around a quiet forest and seemingly out of nowhere a charming oasis with decorations for snacks. All that remains is to enjoy!

Picnics are as different as picnickers, and therefore Vacationers have never had two identical picnics. There are different wishes and different number of guests, as well as different holidays, in honor of which the picnic is held. Some want to decorate their garden, some want to go on a picnic on the water. In addition, currently Vacationers already have many color decorations in stock and can match almost everyone's wishes. It is also possible to organize themed picnics. A picnic does not mean only a checkered blanket and a picnic basket - it can also be grand and original. For example, in the first season, vacationers organized a big picnic with seven tents and a lodge around a pond, where each tent was like a different country, it was an opportunity to go on a small trip. Also, picnics are not only for bachelorette parties , an unforgettable event was a Turkish-themed bachelor party. They arrived in jeeps and wearing turbans, the tent was decorated in oriental moods and belly dancers performed. For vacationers, picnics can also turn into a sensory trip to another country!

An integral part of a picnic - food

In its essence, a picnic is a meal in nature. If you go on a picnic by yourself, you will most likely take a plastic or paper plate and cup with you, which are neither beautiful nor ecological and will most likely fly or fall somewhere. But the opportunity to be in nature with glass glasses and gold forks - these are the details that turn a picnic into a luxurious event. For vacationers, offers to decorate the picnic area, as well as provide snacks. It turns out that people often choose to bring their own snacks because they think they can save money, but that's not always the case, because everything still has to be prepared or ordered. The concept in which brings everything to vacationers is the most convenient and profitable.

When it comes to what foods to take with you on a picnic, advises vacationers to stick to proven values ​​- sandwiches and fruit that can be beautifully arranged. Water can also be beautifully presented - in a large closed container with fruit. The thing that Vacationers do not recommend putting in a picnic bag is sushi. Of course, it's convenient to buy and bring, but choosing anything with fish in the summer is risky, and the soy with which you eat sushi almost always spills on the table. The same is true with dark berries and red drinks - they are attracted by clothes and pillows like gravity. In general, you should think about foods that are easy and convenient to eat. Also, it might be better to eat the holiday cakes elsewhere, because the chocolate literally melts in seconds. And, of course, all snacks should be kept in cooler bags until the last moment and served just before the moment of eating.

Picnic and the weather

The weather is the biggest fear of picnickers, which actually shouldn't be that much. If you want to be close to nature, you have to take into account that there can be different things. Vacationers are told that sometimes the day of the picnic comes and it rains, so when preparing the picnic you have to worry about whether everything will be alright. However, most often people come positive and happy about their holiday, in the mood to spend time in a cool atmosphere and rarely let the weather spoil the day. In addition, both the lodge and the picnic tent and raft have a roof. Even if the wind blows and knocks over a dish or the rain splashes on the pillow, these are just trifles. After all, the main reason we go on a picnic is because we want to be in nature. Nature has both wind and rain, and it's beautiful!

Picnic areas

The more unusual the picnic spot, the better. However, there are several important nuances that should be taken into account when choosing a picnic place, so that the picnic is not only original and beautiful, but also comfortable to enjoy. First of all, it is necessary to find out whether and how it is possible to get to the chosen picnic spot. tells vacationers that sometimes people see a place somewhere on the mountain, but you have to remember that a picnic doesn't happen by itself, you have to take everything and take it to the picnic place. You also need a stable place to put the table. And it's not just about the fact that it would be a little more difficult or complicated to organize something - we want the event to be great and successful for everyone. for this reason Vacationers are invited to carefully consider the desire to hold picnics by the sea. There are many beautiful pictures of beach picnics on Instagram and Pinterest, but often the reality by the sea is different, so you don't want people to be disappointed. We have such beautiful nature, rivers, quiet and lonely lakes, places in camping areas.

To avoid trouble, it is important to check whether there are any prohibitions, because not everywhere in nature can be pitched. For example, there are many prohibitions on the sea coast, glassware must not be used. Therefore Vacationers hold picnics in places they know, where the possibility of getting there has been studied in advance and it has been ascertained whether there are any restrictions. For example, with the cabin winter picnics at the beginning Vacationers went where the customers wanted, but it turned out to be quite extreme - to go to an unknown place, dig snow with shovels. Therefore, this winter the cabin was put in one place, and electricity was connected to it, so that the guests would have a more comfortable and warmer picnic.
