A local oyster grower and a winemaker have paired to open a venue in Hobart, Tasmania that can cater for up to 80 guests seated or 100 pax for cocktail receptions. It is also fitted with a private room that can hold up to 30 people for small group events.
The Bangor Wine & Oyster Shed, located 45 minutes away from Hobart and 35 minutes from the Hobart airport, is no mere ‘shed’. It serves Tasmanian wine, cider, seafood and other local produce, its signature offerings being the cool climate wine produced by Matt and Vanessa Dunbabin of Bangor and the oysters grown by Alice and Tom Gray on the farm of Fulham.
The menu features interesting combinations like fresh Thai lime oysters and grilled macadamia pesto oysters.
Both the winemakers and oyster growers are at the venue daily, so delegates will have a genuine meet-the-maker experience. They offer wine and oyster tastings for groups.
Whisky tastings can also be arranged on request.
The venture between the two farming families came about after the devastating Dunalley Bushfires.
Both farms were burned, but miraculously the vines survived and the oysters were safe in the water.
