You Could Win Two Tickets to Shell House's Massive Oyster and Semillon Festival

    All the oysters you could fit, plus plenty of Semillon and a masterclass of your choice await at this one-day-only event.



For an unassuming mollusc that spends its days clinging to rocks and filtering saltwater, the oyster sure has found itself in prime standing in modern fine-dining culture. The humble, briny beastie has cemented itself as a tableside snack that can be luxurious and also affordable, and it's hidden complexities are taking centre stage during an exclusive Vivid-adjacent event at Shell House this June.

An official part of Vivid Sydney's culinary program, Oysters in the House will celebrate the freshest oysters that Australia has to offer across multiple levels of Shell House. 14 of the best oyster farmers in the state will be attending, including prestigious farms like Wapengo Organic Oysters, Narooma's Rutter Oysters and the Sapphire-Coast-hailing Sweetwater Oysters — all perfectly paired with wines from nine of the Hunter Valley's leading Semillon producers.

Your ticket will get you access to tastings, shucking demonstrations, a limited-time themed snack menu, pop-up bars and more — and we're giving away not one, but two tickets for you to take part.

Welcoming many names and talents from the East Coast Oyster trail, this roam-and-snack experience is split across two sessions on Sunday, June 7 (12 to 3pm and 3.30 to 6.30pm). You can also take your pick of three available masterclasses to join during your visit.

First is a deep dive into the diversity of NSW's oysters by region, with a lineup of farmers presenting their oyster varietals alongside a complimentary glass of Semillon. Otherwise, there's a lesson in pairing presented by PJ Charteris, with three styles of Hunter Valley Semillon paired with Sydney Rock Oysters. Your third and final option? A masterclass in making a perfect oyster-accompanying martini, hosted by Archie Rose.
