In our oyster shucking class you will learn everything about oysters, how to open them, what are taste differences, how they grow. We can also focus more on oyster & wine pairing.
The oyster workshop can be held on a location or via Zoom (oysters will be shipped to the participants). Please let us know what you & your group would like to learn; we will tailor the oyster opening class to your needs.
Although the oyster has been known for thousands of years and was already appreciated by the Romans, it seems that we know little about this bivalve mollusk. How do you actually eat oysters? And on what occasion? What types are there? How do you rate the quality? And how do you open oysters? The oyster shucking class will teach you how to open it and you will gradually learn the information about oysters.
Oysters and wine are a classic combination – a delicious food paired with a delicious drink. But that’s not the only thing they have in common. Both are made using some of the most natural processes in farming. Influenced by the climate, the region, the earth, the water, with oysters the taste comes down to the merroir, and with wine, it’s the terroir.
Come find out exactly how the oyster workshop works, and learn to unravel the tastes of oysters and of wines. Which wine complements which oyster, and why? You’ll spend the time trying different wines and, of course, fresh and grilled oysters.
We promise you joy and stimulation for your mind, body, and soul, and a big smile on your face when you go home! Whether you want to try something new with your friends, an activity for a corporate, food, or hospitality event, or an interesting party, we’ll teach you new skills that you’ll use for a long time afterwards.

Frequently Asked Questions
The number oysters you should get for your party depends on 3 factors: the Oystertaining time you’d like, the number of guests, and the location. On average we take into account 3 oysters per person. The minimum oyster order is 100 oysters, and our experts will work with you to make sure that you have all the oysters and Oystertainers (oystershuckers) you need to make your event a huge success.
Our Oystertainers open oysters on the spot as they move around the room, so there is no need to provide a table! They will bring the oysters in a cooler, and a custom Red Oyster backpack with all their equipment. All you need to provide is a small space to store the cooler and the backpack, and a garbage can for the empty shells. We’ll do the rest!
We prefer to serve up North East Coast and West Coast oysters in the USA. Most of our customers like the fresh oysters from ME, MA, CT, or PEI Canada. We are proud to have built up lasting, trusting relationships with our dedicated oyster farmers. After all, they are our partners in bringing you the best bivalves, and we work together to make sure that we provide you with the most delicious ones every time. Most of our oyster farmers have family-owned businesses that have been farming oysters for generations.
