Fall Picnic Ideas: The Hangar Edition

Autumn is finally here, and with it comes cooler weather, golden leaves, and the perfect opportunity to enjoy a cozy outdoor picnic!

There’s something magical about gathering with friends, family, or that special someone for an alfresco meal – and what better place to embrace fall picnics than in Long Beach's vibrant Hangar?

At Fior Di Latte, we’re all about creating experiences that bring people together, and our charcuterie boxes are crafted to make your picnic simple, delicious, and memorable. Here’s how you can create the ultimate fall picnic with our artisan cheese and charcuterie - anywhere and even at The Hangar.

1.Select Your Charcuterie Box: Our shop offers daily grab and go charcuterie boxes, made with premium ingredients from award-winning artisans. Whether you’re craving bold, spicy flavors or creamy, subtle notes, we have something for everyone.

Choose one of our signature boxes that include options like a wine soaked Manchego and clothbound cheddar or place a pre-order to pick your favorite meats and cheeses.

2.Elevate your Picnic with Seasonal Favorites: To elevate your picnic, be sure to grab some of our seasonal pairings. For a cozy autumn vibe, our pumpkin-spiced cookies are a must-try and pair perfectly with a triple creme Triple Creme or Stilton. If you’re looking for something larger or need something extra special, order one of our fall-themed boards made with flavors and colors of the season.

3.Find the Perfect Picnic Spot:

Long Beach has its share of scenic outdoor spaces, but views outside of The Hangar are truly unique. With a welcoming, laid back vibe, lawn area and plenty of seating, it’s a go to spot for picnics in the neighborhood. Plan a picnic on a Wednesday night to enjoy live music during golden hour and make your experience extra memorable. If you can’t make it to the Hangar, other great locations for a picnic are El Dorado Park, Bluff Park with views of the ocean, Hill Top Park with views of city, or Long Beach Harbor Lighthouse with views of the coastline and Queen Mary.

4.Pack the Essentials

  1. We believe no picnic is complete without the right accessories! For a seamless experience, we recommend: 

  • A waterproof/picnic blanket: to keep things cozy and comfy.

  • Small cutting board and cheese knife for easy serving, find some at our shop!

  • Reusable plates and utensils = sustainable and stylish! Ask us about our mini wooden trays and complimentary, eco-friendly cutlery.

  • Beverage pairings: Consider a crisp apple cider, a refreshing wine or beer to complement your charcuterie box and cheeses. Check out our new non-alcoholic selection of wine and beer at our shop!

5. Create a Fall Vibe

Set the autumn mood with a cozy playlist that accompanies the aesthetic of your fall-inspired picnic! Bring along a few fall-themed decor items like mini pumpkins, cozy throws, and a picnic basket. For a finishing touch, some string lights or candles can turn your picnic into a magical fall retreat as the sun sets.

6.Share your Experience!

At Fior Di Latte, we love seeing how our customers enjoy our curated boxes. Capture your fall picnic moments and tag us! Not only does it give you a chance to share your experience with our community, but it also inspires others to savor the season with our artisan products.
