Our oysters are sustainably grown right here on the sunny Central Coast of New South Wales. They are grown in the oceanic waterways of Broken Bay and Brisbane Water and are fast becoming a local (and not so local) seafood delicacy.
This exclusive experience offers a completely unique and memorable day out. With a deep dive in to the intricacies of the Akoya pearl farming and pearl grading, you will leave with an eye-opening understanding of our precious and rare gems. We’re delighted to announce that we have had a successful test harvest since the 2020 floods, which means on our Private Shellar Door Experience you will get to witness a live pearl harvest from this test harvest! To witness the magic of a pearl being unveiled from its oyster is incredible, and we’re excited to showcase live pearl harvests again.
Lunch is served by the river with a bespoke grazing platter featuring locally grown Sydney Rock Oysters, local ingredients, and refreshments.
Follow the story of the Australian Pearl from its ancient Indigenous beginnings through the modern farming and grading techniques, all the way to the finished piece of unique pearl jewellery.
