There’s something magical about autumn that holds time in its golden embrace. The sun still casts a warm glow, but there’s a subtle crispness in the air—a gentle nod to autumn, waiting just around the corner. On days like these, nothing feels more luxurious than an al fresco lunch by the lake, with friends whose laughter echoes through the stillness of the water.
Our table, understated yet refined, reflects the soft shift in nature’s palette. A handmade linen cloth dances gently in the breeze, with the setting kept intentionally minimal, yet undeniably luxurious. At the heart of the meal is caviar—a true highlight. Not just any caviar, but an exquisite selection, including Siberian Malossol, Ossetra and Mandarin from the Signature Quaviar range from AKI Altona Kaviar, whose lustrous pearls glisten in the sunlight and offer the pure essence of the sea in every delicate spoonful.
We tear into freshly baked Sourdough bread, its crust still warm from the oven, slathering it with thick, creamy butter. Each bite, paired with the briny burst of caviar, is a symphony of textures and pure flavours—a perfect balance between indulgence and simplicity. The conversation flows as freely as the wine, a crisp white with just enough acidity to complement the richness of our meal. As the afternoon stretches on, Ruinart champagne corks pop, a celebratory punctuation mark to the effortlessness of the day.
Here, there’s no need for excess. Just friends, a lake, and the finest ingredients, savoured slowly as the sun begins its descent. We linger, not wanting to let go of this perfect moment, this delicate balance between seasons. In the distance, a few leaves have already turned, but for now, we remain in fall`s warm embrace, sipping champagne and sharing stories, the taste of caviar lingering on our lips.
Caviar is a perfect companion for a picnic in your favourite landscape. Easy to put everything together, as not much is needed.
