The Modern Beach Guide: What to Bring for a Perfect Day

The best beach days feel effortless. They’re a sun-drenched escape from the routine, a chance to relax, recharge, and enjoy the simple things. But that feeling of effortless perfection often comes from a little thoughtful preparation. Forgetting a key item can turn a blissful afternoon into a frustrating scramble.

To ensure your next coastal trip is nothing short of amazing, we’ve put together the ultimate checklist. We’ll cover the must-have essentials, the fun extras, and most importantly, the perfect sips and snack pairings to elevate your day from simply good to truly unforgettable.

The Foundation: Your Beach Day Essentials

Before we get to the delicious part, let's cover the basics. These are the items that create your foundation for a comfortable, stylish, and safe day on the sand.

• A Great Beach Towel (or Two): One for lounging, one for drying off. Opt for something plush and absorbent.

• Chic Sun Protection: A wide-brimmed hat, quality UV-blocking sunglasses, and a reef-safe, high-SPF sunscreen are your best friends.

• A Sturdy, Stylish Bag: You need something to carry your treasures. A canvas tote or a woven straw bag is both practical and picturesque.

• A Good Book: For those moments of quiet contemplation between dips in the ocean.

The Main Event: Perfect Pairings for Beachside Sipping

This is where you elevate your beach day from a simple outing to a curated experience. Forget warm sodas and soggy sandwiches. Think fresh, simple, and elegant. The key is to match your snacks to your sips.

Here are our favorite beach-friendly snack pairings:

• For our Crisp, Dry Rosé: The bright strawberry and rhubarb notes of our Rosé are made for sunshine. It pairs beautifully with light, fresh flavors.

• Prosciutto-wrapped Melon: The ultimate salty-sweet combination that feels incredibly sophisticated.

• Goat Cheese and Crackers: Creamy, tangy goat cheese on a simple water cracker is a perfect counterpoint to the wine's crisp acidity.

• Fresh Berries: A simple bowl of fresh strawberries and raspberries complements the fruit notes in the wine perfectly.

• For our Light & Juicy Red: A light-bodied red wine, served slightly chilled, can be fantastic on a warm day. Ours has notes of cherry, dark chocolate, and pomegranate.

• Charcuterie Skewers: Skewer small cubes of salami, manchego cheese, and a single olive for an easy-to-eat, flavorful bite.

• Dark Chocolate: A few squares of high-quality dark chocolate bring out the rich, fruity notes of the wine beautifully.

• Marinated Olives and Almonds: A simple, savory snack that's easy to pack and requires no fuss.

• For our Sparkling, Celebratory Brut: Nothing says "perfect day" like bubbles. Our Brut has notes of lemon, elderflower, and bergamot.

• Potato Chips: Don't underestimate this classic pairing. The saltiness and crunch of a simple, high-quality potato chip are a perfect match for sparkling wine.

• Freshly Shucked Oysters: If you're feeling ambitious and your beach spot allows for it, there is no more classic pairing for sparkling wine.

• Popcorn with Parmesan: A light, airy, and savory snack that's easy to share.

Why Single-Serve and Canned Wine Are a Beach Day Game-Changer

The modern beachgoer knows that convenience and quality can coexist. That’s the beauty of new-format wines. While your usual wines might come in heavy glass bottles, our modern approach is designed for how you actually live.

• Portability: A single-serve wine bottle or a sleek can is infinitely easier to pack in a cooler or beach bag than a full-size bottle.

• No Glassware Needed: Enjoy your wine straight from our chic bottle or can. This is especially important as most beaches have strict rules against glass containers.

• Perfect Portions: No more worrying about a half-finished bottle getting warm and sandy. You open what you need, when you need it. Our Mixed Pack is perfect for bringing a variety for you and your friends. The rise of quality canned wine and single-serving formats is changing the game.

The Finishing Touches

• A Portable Speaker: For setting the mood with the perfect summer playlist.

• A Wet Bag: A small, waterproof bag to store your damp swimsuit in for the journey home is a lifesaver.

• Leave It Better Than You Found It: A small bag to collect your trash ensures the beach stays beautiful for everyone.

Packing for the beach shouldn’t be a chore. With a few key essentials and the perfect, easy-to-enjoy wine and snack pairings, you’re ready for a day of effortless relaxation.
