Picnic Table is perched in a refurbished 1940s roadside gas station that sits amidst a stand of post oaks and live oaks in a park-like setting on the Texas Wine Trail.
Along with Pontotoc Vineyard’s 100% Texas Hill Country wines, Picnic Table will offer a Picnic Table Spread created by the owner, Frances Money, a classically trained pastry chef, with the option of three different homemade picnic baskets - the original Pontotoc Picnic Basket, the Fredericksburg Picnic Basket, and the Hye Picnic Basket - as well as several homemade Picnic Snacks served in mason jars with saltines and homemade Picnic Sweets. Further, in a nod to the past, Picnic Table will sell local peaches and seasonal vegetables off the front porch.
