Boat Tour: Join us for a unique tour of Laughing King Oyster Farm, and learn all about shellfish aquaculture on the Eastern Shore! Your 1.5 hour experience starts at our private dock on an arm of Old Plantation Creek, where our Oyster Farm is located. Aboard our covered oyster barge, we'll explore the creek which is very calm and sheltered, no big waves, and chairs will be provided during the trip. Here, you'll see firsthand how oysters are cultivated and cared for, learn about various techniques and traditions, and sample the freshest oysters you'll ever taste, pulled straight from the water. This tour offers a unique glimpse into the meticulous processes behind oyster farming, and promises an insightful, engaging, and unique experience of the waters of the Eastern Shore.
Tasting Only: Join us on our farm for a unique tasting adventure, a pairing of our premium Eastern Shore oysters with several of our craft wines! As the only combination Vineyard/Oyster Farm on the East Coast, we’re uniquely positioned to pair these delicacies while explaining their cultivation. The tasting will take place on a shaded platform overlooking both our vineyard and the water where the oysters are grown. We’ll pair the oysters with various wines and with several craft mignonette sauces, and gain unique insight into why this unique pairing has been revered for thousands of years.
- Our oyster barge is covered but we’ll likely be out in the sun at various times, so sun hats and sunscreen are recommended. There's a maximum of 6 people per tour. No children under age 9.
- The minimum age for the tasting is 13.
- Summer weather here can be unpredictable, so cancellations can occur up to the morning of the tour. If your tour can’t be rescheduled, you will receive a full refund.
- We recommend bringing a water bottle and snacks if desired, but both will be available if needed.
- Our bathroom and sink are available should the need arise
