Drive somewhere with running water, and chill the wine in the water while you set up your picnic.
Pack food you can eat with your hands and share.
Great picnic foods include: pan-bagnat, a fresh baguette with ham and butter or fancy cheese, hummus and carrots, grapes, peaches, and chocolate. -
Step 2: Visit a farmers market

Stock up on flowers, produce, and artisanal delicacies at your local farmer's market.
If your town doesn't have one, find one nearby and drive or take a bus.
Farmer's markets are a great way to start a day together: go for breakfast, buy coffee, fruit, and pastry, and sit outside to enjoy the hustle bustle.
Find silly junk for one another at a flea market or a yard sale.
You might find useful things, but the goal should be to enjoy the scenery.
During harvest seasons, visit a U-Pick.
Spend the day wandering the orchard or fields together, and pick only what you actually want. , If you have the time, the money, and the guts, do something unusual from your shared bucket lists.
Go bungee jumping, sky-diving, or snorkeling.
Climb the nearest highest peak, or rent equipment and learn how to surf, ride dirt bikes, or skateboard. , If you live in or near a city, take advantage of the cultural offerings.
Check out famous monuments you've never visited, or haven't visited since you were a child.
