17 Best Wineries for Picnics in Napa and Sonoma - Eater SF

"Ram’s Gate’s new “Summer at the Pond” experience ($90 per basket, available Friday-Sunday) is to picnicking what glamping is to camping. In other words, it’s pretty luxurious. Head down to the estate pond, located at the edge of their Carneros vineyard, where an ideal stretch of grass lends itself to lounging, lawn games (like Connect Four and giant Jenga), and noshing. Paired with a chic woven blanket, a deluxe wicker basket is filled with an assortment of goodies, like Niman Ranch beef jerky, root veggie chips, key lime meringue kisses, and of course, your choice of a bottle of pinot noir or chardonnay." - Jess Lander, A.
