Pampas Picnics x Renault Winery

Summer in the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia is the perfect season to unwind, reconnect, and soak up the sun with a curated luxury picnic set among the vineyards.

At Pampas Picnics and Rentals, we believe every outing should feel like a celebratory occasion —especially when it involves sipping wine, lounging under the trees, and enjoying picture-perfect picnic experiences

Why Winery Picnics Are a Must This Summer

As summer unfolds, the desire to unwind and connect with nature grows stronger. Winery picnics offer an unparalleled opportunity to indulge in both—combining the sophistication of fine wine with the tranquility of scenic vineyards.

Here’s why winery picnics are it this season:

• Scenic & Serene: Escape the hustle of the city without going far. Vineyards offer peaceful backdrops perfect for unwinding or snapping Insta-worthy moments.

• All-Inclusive Elegance: With us, everything is handled—from setup to clean-up. Just show up and enjoy.

• Customizable Vibes: Choose your theme, color palette, table settings, and menu. Whether rustic chic or floral glam, your picnic is a reflection of you.

• Perfect for Any Occasion: Birthdays, anniversaries, proposals, bridal showers, or just because—winery picnics fit every celebration.
