The last romantic date I took her on was a dinner at an upscale place in a Victorian house. We took our time and coursed the meal.  Enjoying each others company the whole time.  We had a great time but, I took the easy way to a romantic evening. Relying on the quality of the establishment to provide the good time.  I couldn’t take, credit for the meal our the great service.  This time I wanted to show her a real romantic time.  One that I could take pride in providing.  It came to me. 

the Romantic Picnic Adventure

To understand how to create the Romantic Picnic Adventure one has to find out the origins and traditions of the picnic.  What was discovered was exciting.
The origin of the modern day picnic can be traced back to Medieval times. The foods served, the set-up and style of the picnic varies depending on the People and the Region. Meats, baked pies and pastries were the foods served in 14th century England at hunting parties. The tradition carries on in modern day picnics.

  • During the Renaissance era in France picnics could be an elaborate banquet outdoors for large groups or an elegant presentation in a private setting for intimate gatherings and for couples.
  • The Oxford English Dictionary defined picnic as a “fashionable social event.” The picnic goers were dressed in proper attire and the day was spent enjoying a variety of foods, games and activities in pristine outdoor settings and locations.
  • Victorian era Picnics were a way for high society to escape their daily routines.
  • According to the Etiquette manuals of the time the Men were expected to serve and wait on the Ladies and to perform any and all feats to suit the ladies fancy.  Which meant that he would be responsible for providing a proper picnic setting as well as provide and serve the variety foods in a manner suitable for the ladies. The man was also expected to provide some forms of entertainment and activities while acting in a charming and amusing manner the whole time. That was the Key to Creating the Modern Day Romantic Picnic.
