What to expect
Your farmer host explains oyster cultivation on the pond's edge before you gather at a waterside table for your meal. The brasucade—mussels grilled over coals—arrives hot alongside fresh oysters. After eating, you'll travel to the winery for a blind tasting where you guess grape varieties and origins without seeing the labels; expect friendly rivalry and surprising revelations. The final leg takes you through the Muscat vineyards on foot, where staff demonstrate traditional winemaking methods before pouring samples of their aromatic whites.
