Perfectly Packed: Introducing the Alkoomi Picnic Collection

From our family's first plantings in 1971 to today, sharing good food and wine has always been at the heart of Alkoomi. Now, we're excited to introduce our permanent Picnic Collection - a carefully curated range of premium picnic essentials designed to help you create your own memorable moments in the Great Southern's stunning landscapes.

Whether you're planning a romantic afternoon by Lake Poorrarecup, a family gathering under the ancient wandoo trees, or a sunset feast overlooking the Southern Ocean, we have everything you need to make it special. Our collection features insulated wicker picnic baskets (complete with built-in cheeseboards), premium linen picnic blankets, and Plumm glassware - all designed to elevate your outdoor dining experience.

Visit our Frankland River or Albany Cellar Door to create your perfect picnic. Along with our cool-climate wines, you'll discover a handpicked selection of local artisanal treats: creamy cheeses from Dellendale Creamery, preserves and pickles from The Pickled Wife, gourmet crackers and Irish whiskey marmalade from Kirby's Atelier de Cuisine, and our estate-grown cold-pressed olive oil.

For those who love convenience, explore our pre-curated picnic packages available online. Each package combines our premium picnicware with carefully selected wines - everything you need for an unforgettable outdoor feast.
