Local oyster farmers from the Mahurangi and other local food vendors promise to prepare the delectable little devils in a myriad of ways and the local drops
to pair them with. Whether you’re an oyster lover or not the day will provide an all-weather celebration of local food, wine & delights with live music, shucking competitions, demonstrations, masterclasses and crafts for the kids. Enjoy a glass or three of local favourites and not have to worry about the drive to Auckland with a leisurely return trip via the available buses. The beauty of the oysters from this region is they have a uniquely fresh taste with October known for producing a plump creamy and less salty taste than other growing areas, after all the Mahurangi is where oyster farming started in New Zealand. Oyster Festival Matakana is looking for expressions of interest from local wine, beer and food producers to join the party. www.oysterfestmatakana.co.nz
