Picnics are very dear to most of us, reminiscent of carefree days. Every year June 18 is observed as International Picnic Day to promote the joy of having a nice meal outdoors. Even though we might have not been able to squeeze in many pleasant outdoor meals with friends and family this past year, we can improvise to keep the spirit alive. On International Picnic Day, we have curated a list of picnic essentials, so you can have a picnic anytime and anywhere.


Artisanal Cheese


A micro-creamery making European-inspired classics, Eleftheria Cheese makes preservative-free artisanal cheese. While the hand-stretched Cows Milk Mozzarella (INR 350) has a delicate soft texture, the Fromage Blanc (INR 300) available in multiple flavours is the scene stealer. Garlic and Parsley, Dried Herbs and EVOO, and Chives and Pepper are three distinct flavour profiles and can be paired with a variety of breads.

Croissant, sourdough, and crackers

Sourdough took off in a major way during lockdown last year. Whether people were baking it or eating it, people were continuously talking about it. Artisan bakery, The Baker's Dozen offers an extensive range of baked goods that are healthy and delicious. You might want to grab their Baguette Sourdough (INR 85) and Butter Croissant (INR 90) for a Parisian picnic or opt for some whole wheat crackers (INR 109) available in various flavours, from beetroot to peri-peri

Kombucha, ginger ale, and coconut kefir

It is no surprise that Indian Kombucha brands have multiplied in the past one year owing to the fermented drink’s growing popularity. Mumbai-based Bombucha offers handcrafted fermented beverages infused with organic fruits and herbs. Their most exciting flavours include Hibiscus Lime (INR 240), Beetroot Pomegranate (INR 240), Smokey Oolong (INR 240), and Mango Turmeric (INR 240). If you prefer to keep it simple, The Rose with Basil Seeds Ginger Ale (INR 160) is pretty refreshing and so is their signature Coconut Kefir (INR 240).

Teacakes and cupcakes

No picnic is complete without some sweet treats. Home baker Juhi Pahwa is serving some delightful teacakes and cupcakes that are perfect for your breakfast-style or high-tea style picnic. Satisfy your sweet cravings with gluten-free Apple Cinnamon (INR 1000) and Caramel Vanilla Latte (INR 1500) teacakes or opt for grain-free, vegan, and refined sugar-free Chocolate Cupcakes (INR 2000). A variety of Paleo and Keto friendly treats are also available making it ideal for those with watchful diets.
