How to Plan the Perfect Cozy Fall Picnic:
A Complete Guide


Below is my ultimate checklist for planning the perfect cozy fall picnic, from the must-have gear to the perfect fall charcuterie board.


Your Ultimate Fall Picnic Checklist:
------------------
1.The "Cozy" Foundation (The Layers)
This is the real secret. Don't just bring one blanket!
Waterproof Base: Start with a simple tarp or waterproof-backed blanket to keep the damp ground from seeping through.
The "Look" Blanket: A large plaid or flannel blanket (like the one pictured) is perfect for the fall aesthetic.
Pillows, Pillows, Pillows: This is what makes it look and feel luxurious.
Bring 4-5 pillows in different fall-toned textures:
velvet, chunky knit, and faux fur.
Knit Throws: Have at least two chunky knit blankets on hand for wrapping up when the breeze picks up.
2. The Perfect Fall Charcuterie Board
A board like this is beautiful, easy to assemble, and requires no cooking.
Cheeses: A hard cheese (like aged cheddar), a soft cheese (like brie with fig jam), and a sharp cheese (like blue cheese).
Meats: Prosciutto, salami.
Fall Fruits: Grapes, apple or pear slices (toss in lemon juice to prevent browning), and fresh figs.
Salty & Crunchy: A mix of crackers, marcona almonds, and olives.
The Extras: A small jar of honey or hot honey, and dark chocolate.
3. The Food & Drinks
The Sweet: A pre-made pie is the easiest and most impressive dessert. An apple or pumpkin pie is perfect.
The Drinks: A thermos of hot apple cider is a must. Don't forget a bottle of water, too.
4. The Gear
~A classic wicker picnic basket
~A large wood board (to build your charcuterie on)
~Cheese knives, reusable cups, and napkins
~A trash bag (Always leave your picnic spot cleaner than you found it!)
