The Perfect Romantic Picnic for Two

Summer’s officially over, but there’s still plenty of time to squeeze in one last romantic picnic for two! For the perfect romantic picnic, the menu should be simple and the setting should be secluded and quiet. Here’s my favorite romantic picnic idea:

The food: summer sausage, baby Swiss cheese, crusty French bread, Dijon mustard, fresh fruit like grapes, oranges, and strawberries with chocolate dip, and a nice merlot

The setting: late afternoon or early evening, just before sunset. A short, easy hike to some place with a beautiful view (I personally prefer a quiet beach)

Pack your food in something easy to carry (backpacks work well if you’re hiking) and don’t forget glasses, a blanket, and a knife to cut the bread and sausage. You may want a few napkins as well and I bring along a couple candles and matches to add to the romantic mood.
