Feast on premium oysters from across Australia with Taittinger champagne and lively tales from Richard and Max at The Continental Sorrento
Lovers of the finer things in life can rejoice this Spring with the one-day-only Oyster & Champagne event at The Continental Sorrento.

Shimmering glasses of Brut Réserve from Taittinger, one of the world’s oldest and most renowned champagne houses will be served upon arrival accompanied by an indulgent bump of Beluga Caviar.
Each guest will then be served a plate will feature half a dozen oysters sourced from locations across Australia including St Helens and Pipe Clay Lagoon in Tasmania, Smokey Bay and Streaky Bay in South Australia, and Merimbula, Wonboyn and Shoalhaven in New South Wales, with a highlight being native Angasi oysters from Steve Cooper’s Flinders Island Oyster Company.
After the storytelling and guided tasting, an Oyster Bar filled with an abundance of Southern Rock Oysters will open for those wishing to continue the feast!

- Bump of Caviar Giaveri Beluga on arrival
