A Perfect Pairing at Bennelong: House of Arras Blanc de Blancs and Oysters

There are few things more iconic than sipping a glass of sparkling wine beneath the sails of the Opera House, watching the bustle of the harbour and Sydney’s vibrant energy unfold beyond the windows. At Bennelong, we’ve crafted a new offering that takes full advantage of our stunning location and exceptional ingredients.

Picture this: You’re seated in the heart of Bennelong, a glass of House of Arras Blanc de Blancs in hand and a plate of the freshest oysters before you. The bubbles from the Blanc de Blancs dance on your palate, while the fresh, briny, and perfectly chilled oysters offer a clean, delicate sweetness.

Our new summer offering is as simple as it is indulgent:
$77– half a dozen oysters + a glass of House of Arras Blanc de Blancs
$100 – half a dozen oysters + two glasses of House of Arras Blanc de Blancs
$154 – dozen oysters + two glasses of House of Arras Blanc de Blancs

 

“One of the greatest culinary jewels of the world, the Sydney Rock Oyster; and Australia’s most awarded sparkling wine brand, come together under the Iconic sails of the Opera house. 

Sydney Rock Oysters are truly unique, terroir-driven, seasonal products, changing their texture and flavour throughout the year depending on where they are harvested.

Sparkling wine and Oysters have always evoked the start of a great night for decades and decades, a pairing that has stood the test of time.

Salty, olive brine-like oysters mirrored by a taught, sharp, linear driven Arras Blanc de Blancs. Creamy notes that both the Oyster and Arras bring work harmoniously.

Is there anything more ‘Sydney’?”

— Alex Jacques, Bennelong’s Head Sommelier.

 

There’s something undeniably special about this pairing, made all the more perfect by the breathtaking views of Sydney Harbour.

Whether you’re enjoying an intimate moment or gathering with friends, the combination of House of Arras Blanc de Blancs and oysters is a reminder that sometimes the best experiences are the simplest ones.
