Excursion Oysters & wine tour at Hobart

Savour the exquisite flavour of fine wine and oysters of the Coal Valley during this leisurely, half-day culinary excursion with tastings at a renowned oyster farm and winery.

Barilla Oyster Farm, Guided Tour

Depart the pier for the scenic, approximately 30-minute drive to the Barilla Oyster Farm, a world-class oyster production facility. These delicious morsels owe their delicate taste and texture to the cold, clean southern ocean waters in which they are cultivated. Upon arrival, take a guided tour of the facility. Along the way, your guides explain the history of Barilla Bay's pristine waters and the importance of tides, show you how oysters are grown from a tiny spat to full maturity, and teach you the secret to shucking an oyster. In addition, learn about the Forrest family business, and its commitment to ensuring the preservation and conservation of the pure Tasmanian waters.
