Lunch Menu

At one of the wineries on the tour, we will stay a little longer and have a picnic buffet or catered lunch. It is customary to purchase a bottle of wine from the designated lunch location winery to enjoy with your meal.


Lunch at Savannah-Chanelle Vineyards, Saratoga

Our wine tour lunch is a catered gourmet picnic, served buffet-style using attractive serve-ware on a separate table with a table cloth, served using designer paper plates with coordinating paper napkins and stainless flatware eating utensils (no plastic forks!). Each lunch costs $20.00 per person. For an additional $2.50 per person, you may upgrade to "real" plates and cloth napkins with flatware. (For budget-minded groups, we do offer a gourmet sack lunch - please inquire when you call)

Picnic lunches (listed below) are prepared by the kitchen staff at South Bay Wine Tours - for lunches or winery dinners that require chafing dishes/hot food or waiter service, please ask your tour planner for a current full-service catering menu.

$20.00 per person (includes tax & gratuity). Please make one selection per group from the menu below:

Mediterranean Platters

The perfect accompaniment to a bottle of wine, these platters offer a plentiful & gourmet selection of finger foods with lots of variety. Platters are served directly on the picnic dining table (not buffet-style like our other lunches), and each platter is made to serve the number of people sitting at each table. These platters may also be ordered as a snack to serve at one of the wineries during the tour.
  • herbed French olives
  • a section of gourmet cheeses (up to 3 cheeses)
  • organic cherry tomatoes
  • bread or cracker breads such as rosemary croccantini or Lavosh
  • stuffed grape leaves (rice filling)
  • fresh organic fruits

Country Picnic

  • potato or Southwestern pasta salad
  • herb-marinated, barbecued chicken breast (served chilled)
  • fresh grapes & berries or a tray of fresh fruit kebobs
  • brownie or cookie

California Picnic Buffet

The California picnic is our most popular lunch because the sandwiches are delicious and this lunch offers great variety for everyone, including the Vegetarians in the group:

  • a gourmet selection of petite sandwiches on assorted homemade breads
  • salad: Mixed Greens with pecans, cranberries and crumbled Gorgonzola, served with Balsamic vinaigrette on the side
  • a bowl of gourmet chips (a mix of kettle, sweet potato and Maui onion chips)
  • stuffed grape leaves (Greek-style dolmas, stuffed with a delicious rice filling)
  • tray of fresh fruit kebobs
