Unplug. Escape. Taste a place where we’ve been cooking for three hundred years with nature’s bounty. Step into our disappearing environment where wind, tides and weather rule. If you love exploring places that are rough around the edges and a lifestyle that is unapologetically unique - well, then jump right in with us - for a once in a lifetime heritage foodway tasting tour!

Authentic tide to table shared with the farmers, waterman and vintners - no pretense, no nonsense, just real people from the original source of Maryland’s beloved seafood and farming legacy. Eating & drinking everything local: Learn various ways to shuck oysters from generational waterman, taste various locally grown mushrooms with a mycologist, sample two of Maryland’s world-class, award-winning wines, learn the basics of shoreline fishing & test your skills on the Wicomico. We’ll hike and picnic within an 18th century plantation and nibble another day at a near-by winery after exiting one of the last small ferry-services in Maryland.

Your journey begins at a historic dock on the Eastern Shore of Maryland as you exit a historic ferry ride into another world. We’ll settle along the Wicomico River off the Chesapeake Bay into our vanishing small town atmosphere. You’ll be enveloped within the environment of explorers, trappers, revolutionaries, farmers and waterman. We’re a community in which water continually seizes and releases our livelihoods; A fluid, flexible, tenacious and generous people with a unique lifestyle and language.

These are small batch 4 - 8 people experiences that provide more personal interactions that cater towards solo travelers. Created for mature adults (over 25) and require curiosity, kindness and flexibility as we are dancing with nature on each adventure.
