Wat onze Oester Pluk Tour in de Oosterschelde zo bijzonder maakt, is dat het veel meer is dan alleen oesters rapen – het is een complete beleving van smaak, natuur en rust. Je plukt je eigen wilde oesters, direct uit het heldere water van de Oosterschelde. We leggen onderweg uit hoe het getij werkt, waar je op let bij het plukken en waarom deze oesters zo uniek zijn. Alles in een ontspannen tempo, met aandacht voor natuur en veiligheid. Warm welkom & ontspannen. De tour begint met een goede kop koffie of thee in Restaurant De Heerenkeet om even te landen. Geen haast, geen massa’s mensen, maar een klein gezelschap en persoonlijke begeleiding. Na het plukken bereiden we de oesters samen: Vers geopend, puur natuur, gegrild op de BBQ, warm en vol van smaak. Daarbij schenken we een glaasje cava simpel, stijlvol en perfect passend bij het moment. De BBQ aan het water maakt het bijzonder: je staat met je voeten in de natuur, ruikt de zee en proeft wat deze plek te bieden heeft.
