Our tips for picnicking:
Remember to keep your distance from others even when outside. Feel free to bring a picnic blanket to move out of the way if your chosen picnic bench is still occupied. Please pack up trash after the picnic, as we want to preserve the beautiful outdoors for everyone! Please note that grilling and campfires are not allowed at the picnic areas.
We hope you enjoy your picnic on the Southern Wine Route!
