Winter has its own magical charm, and what better way to embrace it than with a snowy romantic picnic dinner for two in the snow? Picture this – A plaid waterproof backed blanket spread out on the glistening snow, surrounded by cozy blankets, hot cups of minestrone soup and herb grilled cheese sandwiches, creating the perfect setting for an intimate evening.
Jump to RecipeI opted for a portable wooden wine table, not for wine (we don’t drink alcohol), but for a bottle of Martinelli’s and two elegant wine goblets. My cute mom purchased this for us a couple of years ago but this brand no longer exists. I did find one that looks exactly like this and you can have it engraved! Link is below.

Simplicity meets deliciousness with Amy’s minestrone soup. Not having to make the soup from scratch was so easy and fast!
This canned soup is packed with flavor and an abundance of vegetables, it’s a delightful choice for a winter evening.
Serve it in charming, colorful bowls placed inside wooden bowls.
Sprouted wheat bread
Triple cheddar shredded cheese (or your favorite combination)
I whipped up some grilled cheese sandwiches. Using my herb butter, the recipe is here, I generously spread it on both sides of the bread. Then I sprinkled a little bit of Italian herbs over the top of the herb butter for more flavor.
Filled it with shredded cheese, and grilled them to perfection in my trusty black cast iron frying pan.
To add a touch of gourmet flair, I wrapped the sandwiches in brown paper and tied them with twine – a feast for both the eyes and the taste buds.
These grilled cheese sandwiches are so yummy with the addition of herbs!
Another fun touch to add to this romantic snowy dinner for two is this white heart shaped wooden bowl!
It looks so cute filled with grapes. Then you can use it anywhere in the house to hold jewelry or other trinkets. We also offer it made up as a candle. So make sure you pop over the shop.
I brought out my mom’s exquisite antique iridescent wine glasses to serve our Martinelli’s. The result? A visual treat captured by our talented daughters as my hubby and I enjoyed a romantic dinner amidst the snow-covered landscape.
In the midst of life’s craziness, it’s often the simplest things that bring the most joy.
So why not create your own winter wonderland of romance with a snowy picnic dinner? After all, love is best celebrated in the warmth of each other’s company, even in the chill of winter.

What a lovely idea! The tray with the space for a bottle is such a great thing.
Thank you so much! It was such fun way to have a little dinner in a unique way. I needed to bring candles and I forgot!
