What is Alfresco Dining?

Particularly popular in temperate climates, alfresco dining simply refers to the art of enjoying a meal outside. An ideal way to make the most of the warmer months, alfresco dining is an intrinsically social affair and a perfect excuse to feast on nourishing lunches and boozy summer spritzes with your guests — and of course, to create that show-stopping alfresco table setting.
