Choosing the perfect picnic spot
Because every man is unique, the decision where to host your celebratory picnic must be made with care, to reflect their personality and passions. From an adrenalin-filled day out to an unexpected relaxing break… it’s up to you to decide what your dad will enjoy the most!
Ideas for the adventurous dad
Does your father enjoy new and enchanting experiences surrounded by nature? Here are three ideas to make this celebration just as special as he is.
Organise a picnic on top of a mountain! If he enjoys a challenge in wilderness, why not plan a very special hike across rugged landscapes and raise a champagne toast while enjoying spectacular views?
Offer him a canoe trip: choose an isolated area in the heart of nature on the shores of a scenic lake, and organise your exclusive champagne picnic there. This idea will particularly please dads who are avid fans of the great outdoors.
For those looking for a more original idea to celebrate Father’s Day in style: book a hot air balloon ride at sunrise, then take out the champagne to toast this special moment suspended in the air! Take the experience to even further heights with an improvised breakfast in the skies – a sure-fire way to surprise your
Ideas for the dad who loves to relax
If your dad likes to unwind, we have two ideas he is going to love…
Organise a walk in a botanical garden: stroll along the quiet alleys and soak up the delicate fragrance of the flowerbeds wafting in the springtime air, then surprise him with an elegant champagne picnic to create extra-special memories!
Fancy unleashing your creative side? Transform your backyard into an exclusive oasis. Grab some comfy armchairs, a coffee table and add elegant champagne glasses, soft cushions, a colourful rug, eye-catching plants and fairy lights to create a wonderful cosy atmosphere. A real haven of peace just for him.
Classic picnic pairings
Now you know where to organise your Father’s Day get-together, it’s time to think about the food and drink!
To make your picnic extraordinary, we recommend choosing an exceptional champagne, such as Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut and Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque Brut 2013.
To understand what exactly is meant by “brut champagne”, read our dedicated article.
And if you’re wondering why low-sugar champagnes are suited to a wider variety of pairings, we explain everything in this article about food and champagne pairings.
Now, focus on the food!
Cheese and charcuterie board
Creating a cheese and charcuterie platter is an excellent idea for a picnic because it is easy to eat during laid-back occasions. We recommend choosing artisanal cheeses whose salty taste and richness delicately complement the acidity of brut champagne.
Strawberry and white peach bruschetta
Looking for something refreshing? Mix diced strawberries and white peaches with a few basil leaves, then place on sliced grilled baguette bread to create a refreshing and elegant bruschetta.
Herb-roasted chicken salad
A delicious salad is always welcome at picnics! To prepare this dish, cook a roast chicken sprinkled with herbs and add a few green vegetables on the side. Leave to cool, then cut into pieces, add a handful of cherry tomatoes and drizzle with a lemon vinaigrette.
