The cooking of Provence and the French Riviera takes full advantage of the agricultural bounty of the region. It’s sun-drenched food with the same relaxed spirit as the good-natured people who live in southern France. Packed in our blue-and-white Provencal Picnic Cooler, this picnic is picture-ready.

The reputation of rosé wine suffers unfairly in North America, where pink-hued wines are usually cloyingly sweet. In France, though, were rosé originated, the style is dry, and the wine is always served chilled. Travel to cities like Nice and Marseille and you’ll spot pretty carafes of rosé on café tables everywhere. For this picnic, seek out a rosé from France or described on its label as dry and French-style.
