Merimbula Oyster Experience

Meet your host James Wheeler and be whisked to the Wheeler Oysters Farm, set amid the breathtaking backdrop of the Merimbula Lake on the Sapphire coast.

Don a pair of oversized waders and shuffle waist-deep into the estuary to explore this working oyster farm, where you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the meticulous processes involved in cultivating and harvesting these treasures of the sea. Learn about marine ecology and the vital role oysters play in maintaining the delicate balance of this unique ecosystem. Then, watch as fresh oysters are shucked before your very eyes or take the chance to learn how, ready for you to wash down with a glass of Australian sparkling. Set upon an immersed, white-clothed table, this is a true farm-to-table experience in the most spectacular of settings. $250 per person.
