11 Fan Favorite Picnic Spots in Roanoke

My kids love the idea of going on a picnic, and I love the idea of all the crumbs being left outside for the ants to find. So we pack up what seems like half of our refrigerator a few times a year and head out to one of our favorite spots. 

Who knew Roanoke had so many great picnic spots to choose from. Ok, you all apparently did! Here is a round-up of YOUR favorite spots to drop a blanket, pull out some delish treats and get your picnic on with your kids. 

1. Johnson's Orchard/Peaks of Otter Winery
