Austria · In The Open · May to September
In short
A Picnic properly done is an Austrian picnic with linen, proper glasses and a hamper from people who cook seriously, set up with a view before you arrive, in a vineyard, on a lakeshore or in an alpine meadow. It runs from May to September, and Avellera arranges it privately as part of a tailor-made journey.

Linen, proper glasses and a hamper from people who cook seriously, set up somewhere with a view before you arrive. Vineyard, lakeshore or alpine meadow, your call.
Good to know
Yes. With A Picnic properly done, Avellera has everything set up before you arrive: linen, proper glasses and a hamper from people who cook seriously, somewhere with a view. You choose the setting, whether a vineyard, a lakeshore or an alpine meadow in Austria. Avellera arranges it privately as part of a tailor-made journey.
A Picnic properly done is offered from May to September, when Austria's vineyards, lakes and alpine meadows are at their greenest and the days are long. Early summer brings wildflowers to the meadows, and late summer brings the vineyards toward harvest. Avellera picks the day and the setting to match the weather and your route.
Tell Avellera your travel dates and wishes, and the Vienna team builds A Picnic properly done into a private, tailor-made journey through Austria, together with hotels, transfers and guides. Say whether you prefer a vineyard, a lake or the mountains. Planning is free, and the online planner on avellera.com returns a personal trip idea and PDF right away.

Food, Wine & Craft
12Growers who pour their own wine, in cellars and vineyards you would never find alone. Six countries, and the producer at the table in every one of them.
13In a private kitchen, with a cook who has done it their whole life. Apfelstrudel and Schnitzel in Vienna, Mozartkugeln in Salzburg, pesto above Cinque Terre, Brezel in Munich, pierogi in Poland, goulash in Hungary.
14Up to a working alpine dairy while the milk is still warm. You watch the wheel come together, turn it yourself, and eat what came off the shelf last summer.
