This summer season, Stoneacre Hospitality Group invites Newport residents and visitors alike to picnic as they’ve never picnicked before! Offering an array of elevated picnic menus and an ever-expanding list of outdoor venues, Stoneacre Picnics — launching today — are completely customizable to fit any occasion.
Stoneacre Picnics says that it offers an unforgettable outdoor dining experience, without any of the hassles. With four easy steps, the Stoneacre team proves that picnic dreams really can come true:
1. Choose from one of four menus.
2. Select your desired picnic location.
3. Show up at the appointed time to enjoy a luxurious picnic in the city by the sea.
4. When it is time to leave, the Stoneacre team will come and handle all of the cleanup.
“I’m thrilled to announce the official launch of Stoneacre Picnics,” said Christine Bevilacqua, Owner/Director of Events at Stoneacre Hospitality in a statement. “Our goal is to curate memorable experiences, whether it’s a romantic date night, fun girls’ night out, or polo picnic party. It is as easy as naming the time and place and our team takes care of the rest. There’s no better way to experience summer in Newport!”
Full-service picnics start at $325.00 for two guests for two hours, plus $75.00 for each additional guest and $100 per hour for over two hours. Rates include all food, picnic set up and picnic cleanup.
