A Farmers Market Picnic

The perfect summer activity.

Summer is just around the corner and one of my favorite activities to do during the summer is attend the farmers market on the weekends! There are a few held here in Denver, Colorado but my personal favorite one to visit is in the Platte Park neighborhood just off of I-25. There is so much incredible local produce, local bakeries, florists and more at the farmers market! An afternoon spent here collecting goodies for a delicious picnic, equipped with La Crema Pinot Noir Rosé of course, is the perfect way to kick off the summer! I’ve teamed up with La Crema Wines to share how to do a farmers market picnic!

When it comes to what to choose for your farmers market picnic, the options are endless depending on what is available at yours. My go to is always cherries and peaches which should both be in season this time of year. In Colorado we have the most divine peaches from Palisade! They are not quite in season yet, but I am looking forward to seeing them at the farmers market in June. A slice of pie or any delicious baked good is a must! I came across this Rhubarb pie from a local bakery which was mouthwatering! Cheeses, sandwiches, popcorn and any little bites are a must as well. Take your time looking through all the stalls. My husband and I like to do a lap first to see what is available and then loop back to grab the things that caught our eye.

Don’t miss going through all the local farmers stands produce! There are usually such great deals and everything is so fresh! I recommend planning your meal for that evening by grabbing all the ingredients to make it with at the farmers market! It’s such a fun little challenge!

Pack a basket to put your goodies in along with a blanket, wine glasses, forks and knives, napkins and of course, La Crema Pinot Noir Rosé . Their rosé is the perfect pairing to any summer soiree, especially a farmer’s market picnic! I love enjoying this rosé with juicy summer flavors, especially a piece of pie! Once you find all of your goodies head to the nearest park or a perfect little spot near the market to set out your blanket and enjoy!
