On picnic Trail

By KATHRYN BERMINGHAM

WITH summer fast approaching, what better way to embrace the outdoors than to spend a day or two, enjoying the stunning Warby Trail.
Whether on foot or by bike, the brilliant Emerald surrounds of the Trail also serve as an ideal stopover for a sumptuous summer picnic.
To help you pack your basket (or backpack) Nick and Rachael at Wandin Valley Providore are on hand.
Located only 50 metres from the Trail, the recently opened continental deli boasts a wide array of local and international cheeses, charcuterie and antipasto goodies.
Imagine a spread of gooey brie cheese, mouth-watering salami and freshly baked ciabattalaid out before a breathtaking vista of vines and sprawling fields on a summer’s day.
To complete your culinary indulgence, try some of their delectable traditional gelato at the Providore’s new gelato bar opening this month.
The Providore also stocks free-range eggs, baked sweet goods, great coffee, organic teas,traditional pasta, sauces, as well as offering in-house eating options.
