There are few treats more quintessentially Tasmanian than oysters and sparkling wine.
Hobart's Belvedere Restaurant will be shucking, serving and chatting oysters on Saturday, July 27, in partnership with Tasmanian Oyster Company, who have 40 years of expertience producing premium Pacific oysters.
The event is called “The Oyster Affair”, and oyster lovers can join farmers from the Tasmanian Oyster Company for an afternoon of tastings (including the rare Angasi Oyster) while enjoying matching sparkling wines from local stars Josef Chromy and Freycinet Vineyard as well as interloper Skillogalee Estate from the Clare Valley.
Guests are promised they will "learn how to shuck like an expert" as well as sampling varieties including Smithton Tarkine from the nutrient-rich waters of Tasmania's wild north-west as well as rare indigenous Angasi Oyster – Australia’s last remaining native Angasi oyster reef is located in Tasmania.
The three sparkling wines will be matched to the half dozen oysters that will be served naturally, fresh topped or baked.
Oyster lovers are invited to stick around after the demonstration and tasting for Belvedere’s popular Oyster Happy Hour, where oysters are available to purchase for just $2 between 4-6pm, along with $8 house beers, wines and spirits and $14 cocktails.
The oyster tasting, shucking class and wines cost $79 per person.
The Belvedere is on the ground level of Vibe Hobart at 36 Argyle St.
