An alfresco summer is a season of joy, relaxation and unforgettable outdoor moments. The bliss that comes from experiencing all nature has to offer during the warmest months of the year is unmatched. We love the cherished moments that come with outdoor gatherings between loved ones, intimate moments under the warm evening sky and the perfect excuse to enjoy more than one bottle of wine on a weeknight.
As we enjoy one of Summer’s hidden gems right in our own backyard, we’ve come up with a few of our favourite essentials to help transform your Summer experience into a magical one!
Drinks on Drinks on Drinks
A chilled rose or white wine is the perfect drink to set the stage to your alfresco experience. Your wine pairing choices help set the mood for your guests and the experience you are trying to cultivate.
An easy breezy night amongst friends? - A chilled white wine is your go to.
Girl's Night In? - Try pairing a sweet rose to set the right mood.
What better pairing for your wine experience than with our Ross Glassware Collection. We love any reason to showcase a bit of our personality, and our Ross Collection screams elevated luxury.
2. Talk Charcuterie to me
A good charcuterie board is almost essential for curating an alfresco experience. Curating a board can feel effortless with a few helpful tips.
decide on a theme - centering your food items around a singular theme simplifies your experience. Ex. Cheeseboard, smores board, seafood board
drink pairings
the accents matter - adding cheese knives and pate spreaders help to make your board that much more thoughtful. Considering the ease of use for your guests is the quickest way to become hostess with the most.
3. The Table Scape
Your décor is just as important as inviting the right guests to your dinner party / girls night in / summer night of fun. We love accents that allow us to make a statement, whether you're super minimal or have a flare for the dramatic; you can never go wrong with a beautiful floral bouquet. Summer is the perfect excuse to experiment with colour, even if you've sworn allegiance to the neutral clan ;). Try a floral pairing that is a monochromatic spray of a single colour. This allows you to have creative control while still creating a focal point that can be used as a conversation starter.
Remember that an Alfresco Summer is really about embracing a new season and all of its glorious wonder. So cultivate moments around a relaxed energy and enjoy the beautiful scenes that nature has to offer.
