Enjoy a picnic in the beautiful, heritage garden surrounding the historic Buda Castlemaine
Buda Castlemaine
Daylesford Gourmet have partnered with Buda Castlemaine to bring you the opportunity to picnic in the grounds of an authentic Goldfields villa house and heritage garden, just half an hour from Daylesford. A visit to this historic home is a must for lovers of the Arts and Crafts movement and Gold Rush architecture. Bring a picnic rug to enjoy your picnic lunch on the lawn overlooking the township, or listening to the aviary birds while seated at one of the courtyard tables.
Our Buda picnics are packed with picnic favourites made by small-batch artisans in and around Daylesford and Castlemaine, and each pack includes a unique picnic keep-kit with picnic tools for you to keep, all packed into a chic jute cooler bag (yours to keep!) so you can take all your leftovers and rubbish with you. You can also choose to add on a bottle of local wine, cider or a range of locally-made non-alcoholic drinks (please note: glassware is not provided so you’ll have to bring along your own).
Scroll down to select from either a gourmet or taster pack, (with gluten free and vegetarian options), or our popular Vegan Snacks Box. You can also purchase a voucher for a Buda Castlemaine picnic – the perfect gift for lovers of gardens and picnics.
Order ahead via the links below, and we’ll deliver your box directly to the Buda reception on the morning of your visit, so all your have to do is turn up! ORDERS NEED TO BE PLACED AT LEAST 48HOURS PRIOR TO YOUR VISIT.
