Covering an area of 14 hectares, Wijnhoeve De Kleine Schorre - in Dreischor, Schouwen-Duiveland - is one of the largest and most spectacular vineyards in the Netherlands. The sea breezes, the local soils and the number of hours sunshine - around 10% more than the rest of the country - mean that Schouwen-Duivenland is an ideal region for growing vines. The vineyard combines traditional methods of viticulture with more innovative techniques and these you can experience first hand on one of the tours and wine-tasting sessions which are organised. It is a must-visit place for connoisseurs who like local quality wines in beautiful surroundings. 

A visit to Zeeland is not complete without stopping at the Watersnoodmuseum in Ouwerkerk. The Great Flood of 1953 is etched deep in the minds of Zeeland’s inhabitants and leaves no one unmoved. For many living in Zeeland, every approaching storm engenders a sense of unease, even with the modern-day protection of the Delta Works. The museum tells extrordinary stories of what happened that night, for example, a child being rescued from the storm in a wicker basket. Also on view are the huge caissons - or watertight chambers - used for filling the holes in dykes. Discover how the Zeelanders, right up to the present day, continue to battle against the sea.

Brouwersdam, which connects Schouwen-Duiveland with Goeree-Overflakkee, protects the land from flooding during a possible storm surge. The result of the Grevelingendam and the Brouwersdam being completed was the Grevelingenmeer, the largest saltwater lagoon in western Europe. Safety may have been the primary reason for its construction, but recreation too, was factored in. It is a major attraction for watersports enthusiasts. Brouwersdam is also famous for holding major festivals, such as Concert at Sea and Beachboom, which are held here annually.
