Ladies, we propose you take the afternoon off. Spring is serenading us to soak up the sunshine and fresh air. Plus, National Picnic Day is coming up on April 23.

Here are our steps to celebrating Picnic Day (and all of spring) in style:

1. Pack a picnic of fresh spring snacks and salads.
2. Pick up a bottle of Cartlidge & Browne Wines to pair.
3. Venture to your favorite park, spread out a blanket, take a seat and the afternoon off!

Some of our favorite picnic food ideas with Cartlidge & Browne Wine pairings:

Mini Crab Cakes with Cartlidge & Browne Chardonnay

Relax with a simple recipe for crab cakes that pair deliciously with the buttery, classic flavors of Cartlidge & Browne Chardonnay.

Steak Salad with Cartlidge & Browne Cabernet Sauvignon

Get all the flavor of a steak dinner, without all the filling, with a steak salad. Pair it with a bold, dark beauty like Cartlidge & Browne Cabernet to round it out.

Roasted Mushrooms with Herbs with Cartlidge & Browne Pinot Noir

Lighten things up with a batch of perfectly roasted mushrooms, paired with a bright glass of Cartlidge & Browne Pinot Noir.

Cheers to delicious spring entertaining!
