The Crate Escape: The picnic that flips expectations

At Laborie, we believe in slowing down, savouring every sip, and soaking up the vineyard views—and there’s no better way to do just that than with our signature picnic experience.

But this isn’t your average picnic.

Introducing: The Crate Escape — where baskets are out, and handcrafted crates are in. Each wooden crate flips into your very own rustic picnic table. No setup, no fuss—just flip it open, pour a glass, and settle in for an unforgettable afternoon on the estate.

Pick up your picnic from the Manor House, where you can also browse a selection of drinks or grab a bottle (or two) of your favourite Laborie wine to enjoy. Then wander down the Avenue and choose your perfect picnic spot—whether it’s on the Werf lawn overlooking the Manor House or the vineyard lawn with sweeping mountain views. Both are shaded by oak trees and surrounded by the gentle charm of our vineyard village.

Each crate is packed with seasonal flavour and thoughtful touches. With vegan, vegetarian, and kiddies options available, it’s a feast the whole family can enjoy.


Pick-up Point is at the Manor House
