Autumn may officially be here, but beach season isn’t over. While summer may have packed up its deckchairs, the beaches are far from done - less bustle, lingering warmth, and the perfect backdrop for a picnic and a bottle of great wine.
The beach in autumn offers an escape from summer crowds, with cooler, pleasant weather ideal for long walks, and enjoying the quieter, emptier shores. The water is often at its warmest, making it a great season for wild swimming. Autumn also provides stunning natural scenery, with changing foliage and dramatic sunsets.
What to Sip (and Why It Matters)
Make your beach day a moveable feast: pack your favourite picnic bites and something easy to pour. For on-the-go ease (and beaches where glass isn’t welcome), our wines in cans are a simple, sustainable choice - lightweight, fully recyclable, and perfect for slipping into a cool bag. Prefer a classic bottle for sharing? Choose styles that play nicely with picnic plates - crisp whites for salty snacks, juicy rosé for salads, and bright reds for more hearty dishes - so every sip tastes as good as the view. Small choices add up; picking lower-impact packaging helps keep our coasts just as you found them.
