Discover the local know-how of the Médoc

After a day with your feet in the sand on the beaches close to the campsite in the Médoc, let yourself be tempted by the guinguettes along the estuary, markets in Soulac-sur-Mer and Montalivet , and direct sales to producers. Don’t miss the famous Noisettines du Médoc: originally, Édith and Michel, then a seamstress and cook, decided to move into this 200-year-old ruined winery with their limited means to build their family life. It was then that Michel decided to reinvent an old recipe from 1649 for Edith, and after many trials with hazelnuts, a fruit he has always loved, he created Noisettine.

In Saint-Vivien-de-Médoc, there’s an unusual farm that should catch your eye… A micro-algae, extremely rich in minerals and vitamins, is grown here. And that is? Spirulina. It provides your body with all the nutrients it needs, and is a remarkable plant. To find out all its secrets, come and meet Joël and Tiphaine!

Taste the local honey, the oysters raised in the estuary, or the Medoc prawns. Each bite tells a story. Looking for artisanal discoveries? Pay a visit to Tonnellerie Nadalié in Ludon-Médoc or the creators of doormats made from recycled rope in Montalivet.
