Things to Do in San Diego County
The Ultimate Balboa Park Picnic in Four Easy Steps
Step #1 – The Perfect Bottle of Wine:
The historic ‘Wine Bank’ located in the Gaslamp Quarter has one of the finest collections of wine and liquor in the world. This large antique bank has a maze of rooms stacked high with wine, single malts, small batch bourbons, cognacs, and just about every other spirit available from aquavit to pisco. If you can’t find the perfect bottle of wine here, you can’t find it.
Step #2 – Cheese Please
Nothing compliments a good bottle of wine like cheese. If the thought of being in the presence of 120 world champion cheeses at any given time brings a tear to your eye, head over to ‘Venissimo’ in Mission Hills and they will help you find the perfect cheese for your perfect bottle of wine.
Step #3 – The Perfect Baguette
Stop by Hillcrest’s Bread and Pie and watch your bread being baked to perfection in wood fired ovens from France. There is nothing quite like the scent of freshly baked bread. Only one more stop before heading to Balboa Park.
Step #4 – Gourmet chocolates
Head out to Chuao Chaclatier in Encinitas and step into a chocoholic’s dream cone true. For the adventuresome there are the temptations of Picante filled with a California raisin "fondue" and Napa Valley cabernet caramel or the Chevere, a dark chocolate-covered butter cream blend of goat cheese, pear and crushed black pepper. It makes your mouth water just thinking of it. OK! You are now armed with everything you need for the perfect Balboa Park Picnic. Enjoy…
In addition to an endless number of enjoyable outdoor activities, there are numerous world class fine dining and nightlife establishments.
