Picnic at Buda

Why not make a day of it at Buda and have a picnic! A viewing of this historic home of the Leviny family is a must for lovers of the Arts and Crafts movement, heritage gardens and Gold Rush architecture. A gentle stroll around the grounds could be capped off with a picnic lunch on the lawn overlooking the township or listening to the aviary birds while seated at our comfortable tables in the courtyard.

You are welcome at anytime to bring your own rug and picnic hamper, but for those travelling, or an extra special treat, why not book an exclusive Buda gourmet picnic box lovingly prepared by Sal of Daylesford Picnics.

“We had a wonderful experience at Buda Historic Home & Garden. I was able to pre-order an exclusive Buda gourmet picnic box. I had arranged a day out for my Mother’s Birthday and was pleased to find the hamper ready for us upon arrival. We found an appropriate location to enjoy our generous picnic under a large oak tree in the garden. It was a memorable experience and I would highly recommend this service to anyone who wishes to enjoy a carefree relaxing outing.” Georgia – Google review

Picnic Boxes at Buda

Our picnic boxes are packed to the brim with picnic favourites made by small-batch artisans in and around Daylesford and Castlemaine, and each box includes a unique picnic keep-kit with picnic tools for you to keep, including a calico tote bag 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, but please note: glassware is not provided so you’ll have to bring along your own.

Select from either a gourmet or taster box, with gluten free and vegetarian options. We can also tailor your picnic box to cater for most other special dietary requirements (e.g. vegan) – just get in touch with us before you order so we can arrange the details with you.
