THE FOOD

A classic French spread, bottled by the house

The offer includes a classic picnic selection—baguette, pâtés and terrines, chips, hummus, vegetable caviar, fruit pastes and some sweet treats—served alongside a bottle of Château de La Rivière wine for the party to enjoy.

THE SETTING

Parkland between the vines

Guests are invited to savour their meal in the château’s outdoor spaces—positioned amid vines and tranquil landscapes that frame the picnic experience.

THE PLAN B

A sheltered option in the Salle d’Armes

If the weather turns, the château opens its Salle d’Armes so guests can dine indoors without losing the character of the place.

What the day feels like

How the afternoon unfolds

The Offre Pique Nique Classique is conceived as a leisurely pause on the château grounds: settle in the park between the vines, open a curated basket of terrines, sweets and accompaniments, and share a bottle of Château de La Rivière as you take in the surrounding landscape. If rain intervenes, the experience moves inside to the Salle d’Armes so the meal proceeds sheltered from the elements.
