Oyster farm by the water
Learn and taste
Guided tasting
Sparkling wine, with and without alcohol
It started as a tourism school project. Paula, then a student, met Alberto, a local oyster farmer in Ribeirão da Ilha who wanted to turn oyster farming into something visitors could experience.
Floripa Xperience was founded in 2014, and Ostra Xperience became a real tourism experience. Today we have been welcoming groups for 12 years.
About 2 hours, adjustable to your group.

A view of the growing area and of Cambirela Mountain.

03

05
Sparkling wine from the Santa Catarina highlands (with and without alcohol), local cachaça and water.
06
Photos with your group. Lunch is optional, on request.
Doca shucks the oysters right there and walks you through each step if you want to try them raw: how to open one, how to taste it and what goes well with the sparkling wine.
This is when the group laughs, loosens up and sees why this is different.
