The farming families behind Bangor Wine & Oyster Shed live by a 'paddock to plate' philosophy. The ‘Shed’—which is in reality anything but—is a stone’s throw away from the lush vineyards and clear waters of Norfolk Bay where their products are harvested. Having opened a little over a year ago, the establishment has gained a stellar reputation among foodies; their oysters in particular continue to be sought by chefs Australia-wide.

There are many ways to enjoy the oysters here—dressed, grilled, tempura-battered—but by far the best way (the only way, oysterholics might say) is simply fresh from the sea, or with a squeeze of lemon and a little cracked pepper. Cosy up by the fire in winter or around a picnic table in summer and you’ll experience in an instant what Tasmania is all about: fine oysters, fine wine, breathtaking views and a rural welcome that’ll make you want to stay put.

The farm offers a unique cellar door tasting experience, with a range of award-winning wines to pick from. Sample the cool climate Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris. The winemakers are at the venue daily, so visitors will have a genuine ‘meet the maker’ experience. Learn the fascinating true stories behind each label, including Captain Spotswood and Abel Tasman, whose namesakes are towering figures in the region’s—and the State’s—history.

The Bangor Wine & Oyster Shed is open 10am to 5pm, seven days a week. Bookings are recommended, particularly on weekends.
