点评:Lady Oyster’s Oyster Retreat exceeded our expectations.
Virginia Shaeffer, Lady Oyster, and her team provide a casually elegant, educational, and rewarding experience.
My husband, Jack, and I joined the June Retreat in West Point, Maine. We were ready to immerse ourselves in all Maine has to offer.
Our small group had primo private accommodations with spectacular views of the working waterfront and basecamp for the Oyster Retreat. Our chef, Warwick created culinary masterpieces for breakfast lunch, and dinner, featuring local seafood, veggies, fruit, and carefully paired wines. Our wine was carefully selected for each meal and our glasses never empty. (Thanks to Susan). We laughed, shared stories, and made new friends.
The highlight of the Retreat was the hands-on education about oyster farming and workshops led by John, and Joe who are both local oyster farmers and fishermen. Each lent their expertise deepening our experience. (Yes, we toured several oyster farms, caught fish and shucked a few oysters!)
New to me was an oyster tasting. Oysters from several Maine bays were presented and Virgina walked us through deciphering the flavors and characteristics merroir of each.
The Retreat was more than just a gathering; it was a celebration of nature, sustainable oyster aquaculture, and the simple joys of life on the Maine coast. Lady Oyster's passion for sharing this knowledge left a lasting impression.
For anyone looking to deepen their appreciation for oysters and the marine environment, Virginia Schaeffer's retreat is a must-do unforgettable experience. She plans to host these in various oyster capitals around the world and offers oyster tours in Main. Catch one of them!

Virginia Shaeffer、Lady Oyster 和她的团队提供了一次休闲优雅、有教育意义且有益的体验。
我丈夫 Jack 和我参加了缅因州西点的六月静修会。我们准备好沉浸在缅因州提供的一切之中。
我们的小团体拥有一流的私人住宿,可以欣赏到工作海滨和 Oyster Retreat 大本营的壮丽景色。我们的厨师 Warwick 为早餐、午餐和晚餐创造了烹饪杰作,包括当地海鲜、蔬菜、水果和精心搭配的葡萄酒。我们为每顿饭精心挑选了葡萄酒,我们的酒杯从未空过。(感谢 Susan)。我们欢笑、分享故事并结交了新朋友。
静修会的亮点是有关牡蛎养殖的实践教育和由当地牡蛎养殖者和渔民 John 和 Joe 领导的讲习班。每个人都贡献了自己的专业知识,加深了我们的体验。 (是的,我们参观了几个牡蛎养殖场,抓了鱼,还剥了几个牡蛎!)
对我来说,品尝牡蛎是新鲜事。来自缅因州几个海湾的牡蛎被展示出来,Virgina 带我们了解了每种牡蛎的味道和特点。
这次静修不仅仅是一次聚会;它是对大自然、可持续牡蛎水产养殖和缅因州海岸简单生活的欢乐的庆祝。牡蛎女士分享这些知识的热情给人留下了深刻的印象。
对于任何想要加深对牡蛎和海洋环境的欣赏的人来说,Virginia Schaeffer 的静修是一次不可错过的难忘体验。她计划在世界各地的牡蛎之都举办这些活动,并在缅因州提供牡蛎之旅。抓一只吧!
