Summer may be winding down, but there is plenty of good times to have in the great outdoors. Why not make plans to enjoy a picnic this weekend?

Here are five must-have items to have on hand for any picnic:

Finger Foods

Keep your picnic as simple as possible so that you can forgo packing flatware and serving spoons. Pack creative versions of your favorites: veggies and hummus, bread and cheese, and bite-size sandwiches. Be careful when packing foods made with mayonnaise or other items that may spoil in the heat.

Blanket

It needn’t have red-and-white checks, but it should be big enough on which to spread out all of your food comfortably. Line the blanket with a plastic shower curtain to protect it – and you – from potentially soggy ground.

Umbrella and Sunscreen

You don’t want a sunburn to spoil the fun. Be sure to cover up!

Hand Wipes

If you are picnicking at the beach or in the woods, chances are you will not be close to fresh water. Use wipes to freshen up in a pinch.

KORBEL California Champagne

Of course, no picnic would be complete without sparkling KORBEL California Champagne. While any varietal would be a perfect addition to a picnic, our 187ml bottles of KORBEL are perfect for an individual serving and fit easily into any basket or bag.
