Le Picnic in the JW Garden: A Rooftop Picnic to Remember
Ascend above downtown Vancouver to the serene rooftop garden and Aqua Lounge at JW Marriott Parq Vancouver, where for the third year, Le Picnic by Veuve Clicquot transforms the 17th-floor terrace into a botanical escape filled with sunshine, bubbles, and style.
Sip on Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label or Brut Rosé, champagne-infused cocktails, or a gourmand strawberry JW Sparkle. Lounge under striped umbrellas and Provençal-style linens adorned with tangerine and navy, and seasoned with bright florals, fresh fruit, herbs, and honey from the JW Garden beehives.
Chefs bring elevated picnic classics to the menu, mirroring the spirit of Paris:
Crispy chicken sandwich in Veuve Clicquot packaging with rooftop honey and turmeric, paired with truffle comté fries
Champagne-poached prawns served with vibrant sauces
Warm baked local brie with fig preserve
Chocolate-dipped, espresso-infused ice cream sandwiches
JW Éclairs made with mascarpone and adorned with cherries and chocolate coins—light, elegant, and satisfying
Open through August 30, Le Picnic welcomes hotel guests and the public alike—no reservation required for hotel stays, but walk-ins and seating are available for daytime indulgence. It’s a stylish seasonal treat from midday into the early evening.
