What happens on the day
Experience a match made in heaven: fresh oysters and flavorful wine!
Your 90-minute experience kicks off at Pier 57, where you’ll receive a dozen fresh oysters (six from the East Coast and six from the West Coast). With step-by-step guidance, you’ll safely prep, cut, and pop each shell open like a total pro.
Next, you’ll taste the difference between the two coasts before experimenting with gourmet toppings. Of course, you’ll also enjoy two glasses of expertly paired wine and learn how flavors combine to create a perfect harmony. Along the way, you'll discover fun oyster facts, including their biology, varieties, how to pair them with additional spirits, and more.
By the end, you’ll leave with a souvenir shucking knife and all the skills you need to serve fresh oysters at home!
