SPRING SEASON • By the Boathouse • Guest Chef Emily Scott

Boat Bay, nestled to the far end of Harlyn Bay, was the most stunning setting for our May wild adventure.
The bay is an old pilchard fishing site, where Cornishman Mark Hellyar's family resided for many generations. 

For this Spring Wild Wine Club, we teamed up with chef Emily Scott, who produced a beautiful five-course feast with ingredients from the sea, a menu co-designed with Debbie to match the Maritime wines of Chateau Civrac.

The spring sunshine provided a real holiday feel, sipping wine with our toes in the sand... 

ABOUT THE WINES

Chateau Civrac is a winery in Bordeaux where Cornishman Mark Hellyar spends a large portion of his year making a range of modern and innovative natural wines. We were lucky enough to welcome Mark on the evening and hear him share the stories behind his creations.
