Chef's Picnic

Enjoy Greenville, SC's scenic Swamp Rabbit Trail followed by farm-to-table fare from Topsoil Restaurant in Travelers Rest, SC. With The Chef's Picnic experience, you and your group will partake in a guided trail ride from Downtown Greenville to Topsoil Restaurant on electric assist bikes from Reedy Rides Bike Rental, enjoying the sights and sounds of the Swamp Rabbit Trail and Furman University, along the way. Upon arriving at Topsoil, you will be delighted by an elevated picnic spread, prepared by award winning Chef Adam Cooke using ingredients from Topsoil Restaurant's local farming partners.

Begin your bike ride at Reedy Rides located in Downtown Greenville at 50 S. Richardson St. You and your group, guided by a bike tour professional, will enjoy a relaxing 9 mile cruise up and back on the Swamp Rabbit Trail on electric assist bikes or regular bikes with a stop at Topsoil Restaurant for a Chef's Picnic.

When you arrive at Topsoil, park your bikes and head up to Topsoil Restaurant's covered patio that overlooks the Swamp Rabbit Trail. There, a delicious seasonal picnic spread and our refreshing house made Spritz awaits you.

"There's a good chance you will travel farther to get here than your food did."
