Picnic Sunday: Farm-to-Fork brunch
Picnic Sunday: Farm-to-Fork brunch
Let's get out of the table and onto the forest!
Tucked between our wooden villas and the main house lies a secondary forest full of flamboyants, oaks, a ceiba and hundreds of coffee trees. Gather your loved ones on a picnic blanket (4 people max) and enjoy a brunch under the shade of the trees. Each blanket comes with a basket full of goodness plus hot hors d’oeuvres that we will bring to you. Spaces are limited spaces to keep it intimate. This is a unique opportunity to enjoy beautiful views, good live music and great food, which could be the perfect start to a Sunday road trip around the countryside of Cayey and Aibonito.
Price is per blanket of two, three or four people and includes a basket full of freshly baked bread, butter, local fruit jams, pickles, cheeses and fruits, and each person will get at least four hors d’oeuvres, one mimosa, one coffee and filtered water. Additional bottles of wine, cava and champagne will be available for sale from $45 to $75. One-quart jugs of natural juice ($10) will be available to turn your cava or champagne into mimosas.

To ensure the quality of service, we won't be able to accept major menu changes. Please, bear in mind that you will be seated on top of a picnic blanket in the floor the whole time. This might be challenging for those with physical constraints and we want to be fairly upfront with the expectations. Having everyone in the same location help us with logistics and we thank you for the understanding. The picnic will last around 2.5-3 hours and will be over around 1-2pm. Arriving on time is highly recommended. Late-shows will enjoy the dishes pending of serving at time of arrival and the planned ending time of the event will be respected. As we approach the wrapping up time, we will kindly let you know. We won’t be able to extend the time on the property as we will have to get ready to welcome guests after the event. We thank you for your consideration and understanding.
Our cancellation policy:
Purchase reimbursement will only occur if cancelled 48 hours before the event. Why? By this time we have already done the purchase of all food and drinks for the reserved spaces and we are definitely counting with your presence. If something unexpected happened, we invite you to let us know, check if a family or friend can purchase your spaces as we will do our best to find someone to buy them to you but we cannot guarantee it.
If the weather don’t permit us to celebrate the picnic on the forest, our plan b will be moving the experience to the covered tables at the deck.
