Perfect Pair: Sangria and a Picnic
Sponsored Content
A leisurely weekend picnic with friends and family this Fourth of July isn’t complete without the pairing of a bottle of Johnson Estate Winery’s Solstice Sangria, a fruity mixed wine made from Concord grapes and natural juices. Notes of citrus and berry make it light and easy to sip while watching fireworks. Add ice on a warm day to make a perfect summer refresher.
Since eating out at restaurants and bars is more precarious than ever, this Fourth of July is the perfect time for us to consider packing up a basket of our favorite summer foods and holding our next cookout at a park.
When we think of a picnic, we imagine throwing down a blanket, or finding a sturdy, wooden table. We bring silverware, cups, and plates for our guests, maybe some flowers for a lively affair. Because there's an art to picnicking. Just like eating at a restaurant, it's an experience that requires an effortlessness found only in the most meticulous of planning. It’s a potluck of salads, sandwiches, and deserts, all brought together on a gentle wind.
Though, why not turn up the heat? Break out the grill and change the picnic game with these four meat burgers for an elevated BBQ celebration. Or maybe decide to remix side dish staples like this Hillbilly Potato Salad, and top burgers and dogs with specialty condiments (we recommend a Sweet Corn Relish).
There’s no telling where the holiday could go when you introduce Johnson Estate Winery’s Solstice Sangria to your picnic mix. Named after the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere, it’s sure to make your festivities last. Just add a bottle to a pitcher of ice and fresh berries and kiwi for a refreshing Fourth of July drink.

For dessert, why not let your sangria live alongside Jennifer Johnson’s delicious Strawberry Cheesecake Tart. It's a delightful picnic treat topped with fresh strawberries that’s not too sweet, easy to pack, and pairs perfectly with the fruity notes of Johnson Estate’s Solstice Sangria.
So, go ahead. Lay out your blanket or your table. Feel the sun take you in. Celebrate with sangria and welcome nature to your summer festivities.
