About

Made for this valley.

Mad River Picnic Co. was built around a simple belief — that the best moments happen when someone else takes care of the details. We source locally, scout every location personally, and style each experience with care.

Whether you're celebrating something significant or simply making an ordinary afternoon extraordinary, we're here to make it happen without the effort.

🌿

Locally sourced

Vermont cheeses, artisan breads, local wines — every bite rooted in this place.

📍

Personally scouted

Every location is found, permitted, and prepared before you arrive.

🌦

Weather policy

Full reschedule available with 24 hours notice, always at no charge.

We gather year-round

Summer

Peak season. Lakeside and meadow settings at their finest.

Autumn

Foliage picnics. Our most requested window — book early.

Winter

Cozy setups near the slopes. Warm drinks, candlelight.

Spring

Quiet and romantic as the valley opens up again.
