News Picnic in Gippsland
Indoor dining is so 2019. Grab a picnic pack to enjoy in Gippsland this summer. Head for lush hilly landscapes, pristine beaches or waterfall picnic areas.
We present the picnic pack bucket list, from cheeses direct from the farm gates, to all manner of delicatessen goodness... from virtuous light lunches, to full dinners served with local wine and a gobsmacking Gippsland view. There’s even a high tea in a box, brimming with delectable baked goods.
