The Private Picnic Experience: Why Wine Tastes Better with Native Food & a Harbour View

Introduction

Sydney’s harbour views are world famous. But what if you could soak them in with a glass of Indigenous wine in one hand and a finger lime dusted canapé in the other? That’s exactly what our Private Picnic with Native Australian Food & Indigenous Wine delivers. It’s not just a meal. It’s a moment. A luxurious, soul filling experience that fuses flavour, culture, and story.

What is the Private Picnic Experience?

This is not your average picnic. We’re talking a fully styled setup with rugs, cushions, native florals and everything handled for you including the pack down. The star? A curated spread of native Australian food and matching Indigenous wines that highlight the bush flavours you won’t find in a typical Sydney lunch.

From smoked kangaroo and Davidson plum chutney to lemon myrtle cheese and native spiced nuts, every bite is layered with story and surprise. It’s a relaxed yet premium experience, designed to feel effortless and unforgettable.

Native Food, Local Wine: A Perfect Pairing

You’ll sip on wines selected from Indigenous owned wineries or those inspired by native botanicals. Think bush tomato notes meeting a bold cabernet, or a sparkling wine that sings with finger lime.

Our pairings are designed to complement and elevate the food. Kangaroo salami and shiraz? Yes please. Wattleseed chocolate tart with a mellow merlot? Absolutely. Each element brings out the best in the other, and the effect is deliciously memorable.

The Setting: Harbour Breezes and Luxe Setup

Picture this. You’re lounging under a shady tree, native florals rustling gently in the breeze, the Sydney Opera House in view. The entire picnic is styled for comfort and Instagram worthy aesthetics. Soft textiles. Beautifully presented platters.

You won’t be juggling takeaway boxes on a park bench. This is a sit down, take your time, talk about it for weeks kind of experience. And yes, someone else handles the cleanup.

Why It Feels Like a Celebration (Even If It's Just Lunch)

Guests often tell us: "It felt like a special occasion, without needing a reason." That’s the magic. There’s something about slowing down, tasting flavours you’ve never had before, and hearing the stories behind them that turns a simple lunch into something deeper.

Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, proposal, or just a sunny Saturday, this experience brings joy, surprise, and genuine connection.

Who It’s Perfect For

  • Couples looking for something unique (hint: perfect date idea)

  • Families wanting a special way to celebrate without a big crowd

  • Corporate guests or clients needing a relaxed wow factor moment

  • Travellers seeking the most local, luxurious way to lunch in Sydney

And because it’s completely private and hosted by us, it’s accessible, inclusive, and customisable.
