Dinner with Richard Cornish & Max Allen
About
Western Port Oysters and Sparkling: The Untold StoryWestern Port Writes is thrilled to present a night of storytelling with renowned food and wine writers Richard Cornish and Max Allen. Hear the mesmerising tale of Western Port’s Angasi oyster - an ancient food source for the Bunurong People, its near-disappearance in the 19th century and recent efforts to restore the oyster reefs.
Held at Merricks Store, the evening commences with a tasting of the rare Angasi oyster matched with Elgee Park Cuvee Brut and Baillieu Brut. This special night features a gourmet three-course meal, paired premium wines and non-alcoholic options, by a crackling fire.
Don't miss this unique chance to taste food history while hearing a local story of discovery.
Alternative non-oyster menu option available.
Petersen’s Bookstore, our festival bookseller, will join us on the night.
