Shellfish lovers should head to Matakana Estate this Saturday, November 12, when the winery will be holding its second Oyster and Wine pop-up event from 11am until 4pm.
Mahurangi Oysters will be shucking and serving freshly caught oysters straight from the shell, as well as frying fritters for those who prefer their seafood cooked.
Gourmet platter picnic boxes will also be available, together with Matakana Estate wines by the glass, bottle or tasting paddle, plus a range of beers from Sawmill Brewery. There will also be live music between noon and 3pm.
Entry costs $14 per person from Eventbrite, which includes a glass of wine or a beer, or there will be limited door sales at $18 if not sold out prior and/or the weather allows for outdoor seating.
Matakana Estate events and marketing manager Nicole Ng says this will be round two for the oyster and wine pop-up, following a successful inaugural event during the Auckland Elemental festival earlier this year.
The winery has also started running a special deal for Super Gold cardholders every Thursday, where an antipasto sampler platter and two glasses or tasting paddles of wine can be purchased for $45, which Ng says makes a perfect lunch for two.
