PICNIC Perfect

The romance of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland is particularly alluring during Winter. Carlie Wacker breathes in the beauty of a picture-perfect Winter picnic with Tiffany’s.

As the temperature falls the heart yearns for the warm touch of your lover, a cute and cosy knit and a pause in time to breath in the new season (or is that just me?).

A trip to soak in the tranquillity of lush landscapes is always a good idea and now with the latest offering from one of Maleny’s best, it’s even easier to create a memorable moment in the hinterland wonderland.

Proving they are so much more than a wedding venue (albeit an amazing one), Tiffany’s introduced a signature High Tea experience last year and has received rave reviews from locals and visitors for its superb food in a stunning setting.

With the weather perfect for picnics and in response to the overwhelmingly positive feedback, Tiffany’s High Tea hampers are now available to purchase and take away to your favourite secret location or enjoy on-location amongst the lush gardens of Tiffany’s.

All you need to do for the most delicious day out with the finest of foods is pack a picnic rug and set off for romance in the hills.

The team at Tiffany’s paint the picture beautifully: “Picture an idyllic Maleny afternoon, the sun is shining, birds are swooping majestically above, the Glass House Mountains playfully reflecting the incandescent golden light. Tiffany’s quintessential High Tea experience spread out on a gorgeous picnic rug, dining alfresco in our stunning hinterland – just imagine it!”

You had me at incandescent light.

Each hamper contains a selection of savoury and sweet delights freshly-made by Tiffany’s exceptional chefs using the finest ingredients sourced from only the best of local producers, including neighbouring Maleny Dairies, Maleny Cheese and Walker Farm Foods.

Tiffany’s own range of signature High Tea menus range from Traditional to covering all dietary requirements including a dedicated gluten free; vegetarian; vegan and even dairy free menu. Children are catered for with the Little One’s menu and there is even a Cheese High Tea – hook me up!

You can also have your choice of award-winning Tielka tea to take with you so be sure to pack a thermos.

So, with High Tea sorted by Tiffany’s and a thermos and picnic rug packed, all you need is to gather your beloved and besties to turn this experience into the picture-perfect Winter picnic of your life (maybe even a memorable proposal).

The option of enjoying your High Tea picnic on the stunning grounds and surrounds at Tiffany’s – and for an extra special occasion, the team can arrange for you to arrive in style, such as by vintage car to have your perfect picnic setting all ready along with the best views of the Glass House Mountains.

Other super-cute spots for the perfect place to throw a rug down to treat yourself and your favourite picnic friends to a most memorable moment include:

• Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve, with views of the Glass House Mountains

• Serenity Falls – with pretty, cascading waterfalls

• Baroon Pocket Dam, where lake views and lush parkland vistas await
