Best Luxury Picnic and Charcuterie in Amelia Island and Fernandina Beach

Did you know “picnic” ranks among the top 5,000 most common words in the English language? But on Amelia Island, a picnic isn’t just a word — it’s an experience straight out of a fairytale. Imagine a beautifully curated beachside picnic, the ocean breeze in your hair, and a charcuterie board so perfect it belongs on Pinterest.

Luxe Picnics by Les makes that dream a reality. As Florida’s first gourmet build-a-box to-go grazing bar and boutique, Luxe offers a one-of-a-kind, effortlessly elegant picnic experience. Whether you’re looking for a romantic beach picnic, a charcuterie board, or an upscale snack for a cozy night in, Luxe has something for you.

I’m a 33-year-old man. To say I’m not Luxe’s target demographic is like saying the ocean is wet. But that didn’t stop me. Walking in felt a little like stepping into an Ulta — where every female staff member silently wonders if you’re lost — but once inside, it’s a treat.

A Charming Spot in Amelia Island

The space is stocked with drinks, snacks, and a carefully curated selection of beautifully arranged goodies. They even offer dine-in. When I visited, there was a jeweler crafting custom pieces. The interior has a serious Instagram-worthy vibe.

Ordering Was a Bit Overwhelming

I wasn’t sure how to order at first. A large menu board in the back displayed different combinations, but there was a lot to take in. Luckily, the woman behind the counter walked me through it and recommended the box for one.

That’s when I saw the grazing bar, a one-of-a-kind gourmet experience in Amelia Island. A massive spread of carefully curated meats, cheeses, and fresh fruits, perfect for a luxury picnic in Fernandina Beach or a relaxing afternoon at home. I also grabbed a coffee and one of their sparkling drinks.

Watching the woman behind the counter assemble my box felt almost like a performance — each item placed with care, colors balanced just right. And when she added an edible flower on top? Chef’s kiss.

A Charcuterie Box Worth Trying

My box included aged Gouda, Spanish olives, Calabrese summer sausage, merlot-soaked cheese, praline pecans, raspberries, lychees, crackers, and pineapple lemon curd. A stunning spread, arranged with care. Even the toothpick had a tiny heart on it.

A Surprise Waffle Combo

Two days later, I went back. This time for a waffle.

As luck would have it, they were offering samples, and I grabbed one topped with mozzarella and strawberry. A strange combination, but somehow, it worked. The sweetness of the sliced strawberries, the crunch of the waffle, and the slight tang of the mozzarella balanced beautifully.

Ordered fresh, it was even better. The warm waffle had a crisp edge and deep caramel undertones, making each bite rich and satisfying. It was one of those simple, well-made treats that you think about long after the last bite.

Luxe is Something Special

Luxe isn’t for everyone — and that’s exactly what makes it special. It’s a boutique, picturesque spot where the food doesn’t just taste amazing, it belongs on Pinterest.

If your ideal afternoon includes strolling through Target with an iced Starbucks coffee in hand, you’re going to love this place. Whether you’re planning a picnic on Amelia Island, a special event in Fernandina Beach, or just want a high-quality charcuterie board in Yulee, Luxe Picnics by Les delivers.
