Sip, Savour & Soak Up The Sun: Le Picnic In The JW Garden Returns

Summer is in full swing in Vancouver, and the city’s patio scene is heating up. Among the season’s standout spots? Le Picnic in the JW Garden, a chic rooftop pop-up that’s turning heads—and pouring bubbly—17 floors above the city at the JW Marriott Parq Vancouver.

Back for its third year and better than ever, this stylish collaboration with Veuve Clicquot transforms the Aqua Lounge into a lush, garden-inspired oasis. Think sweeping views of False Creek, live acoustic sets, and plenty of champagne to toast the sunshine. The hotel’s new Dual Property Executive Chef, Colin Burslem, is behind the revamped menu—a celebration of summer that draws inspiration from the JW Garden itself. Expect picnic-perfect bites made with local ingredients (some grown right on site), alongside refreshing Veuve Clicquot cuvées and effervescent champagne-infused cocktails.

From now through August 30, Le Picnic in the JW Garden is open daily from 12 to 8 PM. It’s a dream escape whether you’re staying at the hotel or just stopping by for a taste of the high life. Bonus: live music on Fridays and Saturdays from 3 to 7 PM sets the perfect weekend vibe.

Details at a Glance:

• When: Daily, 12–8 PM through August 30
