About this tour
Sail to Cordouan Lighthouse on the Médoc coast for an intimate seafood or charcuterie tasting paired with local wine. This three-hour guided voyage takes small groups (4–8 people) along the water to an unnamed island anchorage, where you'll sample either ten oysters, prawns, whelks and lobster, or a spread of cured meats, pâté and regional cheese. Straightforward, sociable eating in the kind of setting that rewards quiet conversation.

What to expect
You'll board near Cordoba and motor out to the lighthouse whilst taking in the Médoc waterfront. Once anchored off the island, the crew lays out your chosen plate—either the seafood selection or the charcuterie board—alongside bread, cheese and a glass of wine matched to what you're eating. There's no fuss here: you eat, drink, chat and watch the water. The whole thing takes three hours from departure to return. Minors get juice or soft drinks instead of wine.
Good to know
Groups of four or more are guaranteed to go; book with others if you're a smaller party. Wheelchairs, prams and service animals are all welcome aboard. The boat and all areas are fully accessible. Children under legal drinking age receive juice or soft drinks with their meal.
