There are plans that don’t require a reservation. That, in itself, might already be a true luxury. Even more so when the good weather arrives and the days stretch out, perfect for enjoying the outdoors. There is something about a picnic that makes it completely special, and it’s the way we choose to experience it. Here are some keys to enjoying it to the fullest.

EXPERIENCE IT WITH THE FREEDOM OF HAVING NO SCHEDULE

Facing the Atlantic in springtime, time changes its pace and becomes the perfect setting to let yourself go. There is no greater privilege than living without haste, dedicating time to unique plans and sharing them with those we love most. Can you think of a greater luxury than this?

EXPERIENCE IT WITH THE WINE AT ITS PERFECT TEMPERATURE

In harmony with this landscape, a picnic is about nothing else than enjoying the moment, featuring our Mar de Frades Albariño as the protagonist. Taking care of the details allows it to express itself in its full glory, between 8 and 10°C. Cool enough to be vibrant, but without losing the complexity of its aromas. These are small gestures that make all the difference: keeping the bottle protected from the sun, maintaining a constant cold, and serving the wine little by little, filling the glass just enough so it always stays at its peak. To achieve this, a small portable cooler or a thermal sleeve helps preserve the temperature even outdoors.

Furthermore, choosing a good crystal glass, even in the open air, allows the wine to open up and better express its aromas, elevating the experience. It’s that sensation, difficult to replicate elsewhere, where the wine, the landscape, and the moment seem to move in the same direction.

EXPERIENCE IT WITH THE BEAUTY OF A UNIQUE SETTING

In reality, not much else is needed. Just some appetizers to accompany the moment. And then, something happens that is difficult to explain. Facing the vastness of the horizon, with the salty breeze and the sound of the waves in the background, perception shifts. Mar de Frades integrates into this setting as if it were capturing its freshness and minerality—as if the Atlantic stopped being just a landscape and became part of the experience. A picnic facing the Atlantic is a simple plan that, when well-tended, becomes a great little luxury.
