Event Details

Oysters in the House is a one-day spectacular at Shell House celebrating two of New South Wales’ most iconic culinary heroes: The Sydney Rock Oyster and NSW Semillon. 

With enough briny swagger to make the harbour city blush, this afternoon-into-night festival brings together Sydney Rock Oysters, farmers and shuckers alongside the state's leading Semillon producers, Shell House’s culinary team, leading sommeliers and selected artisanal distilleries and brewers. 

Climb your way through multiple levels of The House tasting the freshest oysters and crispest Semillon, experience oyster shucking demonstrations, masterclasses, a one-day-only special oyster-inspired snack menu, pop-up bars including a martini stand and more. 

Front and centre is John Susman — Chair of Judges at the Sydney Royal Oyster Competition — hosting a rolling series of masterclasses on how to judge and enjoy oysters. Plus, for pure theatre: Jimmy and Jonny Yiannaros, legends and multiple-time winners of the Australian Oyster Shucking Competition, will demonstrate how to open 30 oysters in under two minutes.
