There are still plenty of sunny days left in the year to enjoy some prime picnics, and if you’re looking to skip the food prep and last-minute grocery runs, even better. There are a handful of restaurants and businesses in Vancouver that offer ready-to-eat picnic boxes, and we’re here to share them with you.

From mouthwatering charcuterie and bubbly to fried chicken boxes, there’s a picnic kit out there for every occasion. And once you narrow down what you want to eat and drink, all that’s left to do is to pick a spot and enjoy!

Without further ado, here are 6 places to get pre-made picnic boxes in Vancouver.

Tawnshi

We’re starting off with one of the best spots for hand-crafted charcuterie around, and a great pick for group picnics. Tawnshi’s Indigenous-inspired boards and boxes offer a beautiful Charcuterie Board ($190) and an equally stunning Gluten-Free Charcuterie Board ($195), both of which have sizing options and can be made pescatarian or vegetarian. The standard “small” size can feed five to eight people, though!

A smaller Charcuterie Gift Box can be purchased for $55, and baked bannock and cookies are available for $26 per box.

Where: Delivery available to Vancouver, West Vancouver, North Vancouver, Richmond & Burnaby

Charcutiere Vancouver 

Another top spot for hand-crafted goodies, Charcuterie Vancouver has made the art of charcuterie boards its focus, with plenty of delicious platters and boards to choose from. For the solo picnicker, there’s the perfectly portioned Individual & Snack board for $25, and smaller groups can take their pick between the Small Box for two ($70), the Medium Box for three to four people ($105), and the Large Box for four to six people ($150).

They also make special occasion boxes, various party platters for larger groups, and a new Eye Candy Board.

The menu at Dachi changes day-to-day, which makes for a thoroughly exciting and rewarding dining experience every time you go. All of their ingredients are sourced from independent, local farmers – which means every dish is a unique creation. And their picnic boxes have a little something from each of their favourite suppliers, including Two Rivers Meats, Les Amis du Fromage, Klipper’s Organics, and Tall Shadow Bakery – to name a few.

Picnickers can choose between Snack Packs ($39), Variety boxes ($59), and Pandora’s Picnic Box ($89), which pairs perfectly with your fave natural bottle of Piquette, cider, wine or beer.
