Frequently asked questions
What kind of food will we pick up on our journey?
We wonβt give away too much here, it is part of the mystery after all! But you can safely expect gourmet foods from local artisan producers, including your traditional picnic foods (such as cheese, meats, fruits and crackers etc.). And naturally, as artisan producers will be unique to the different destinations, the final picnic content varies slightly between them.
Can you accommodate for dietary requirements?
Absolutely! Just choose from our available dietary options in the βadditional optionsβ section and add the preferred dietary requirement to your order. We can cater for as many people as you like, free of charge.
Do I need to pay for food on the day?
All food, wine and tastings will be covered in the cost of your experience, including picnic supplied for your perfect picnic spot.
When will I get my clues?
Youβll get your clues via email a day or two before your picnic, after which you'll have all your clues, games and puzzles ready to go! Please note, you'll need a mobile phone with internet access the day of your experience.
What will the day look like?
You can decide your specific start time and the pace for the day! We recommend getting started around 11am to give yourself enough time without feeling like you have to rush through the day. Please note some routes may have a slightly different recommendation specific to that route and the vendor opening hours. All you need to do is follow your clues which will lead the way!
How long does the experience go for?
Weβve designed it to be roughly a 3-4 hour round trip, including enjoying your picnic. But you can definitely take longer than this if you want to go on a few detours to explore the region a bit more!
What is your rescheduling and cancellation policy?
As we pre-plan and book you in for your stops along the way, we need 3 business days notice if you wish to reschedule or cancel your experience.
What is your wet weather policy?
Some of our destinations can cater for an indoor picnic spot, just ask one of our friendly concierges. But if you'd prefer to reschedule your picnic due to rain we'll need 3 business days notice, so we encourage you to keep an eye on the forecast in rainier seasons.
