'Maters & Oysters Festival: Summer Food Fest Celebrating Brine & Vine

Join us for the closing afternoon of ‘Mater Week at Wedgewood.

For one day, we’re turning Wedgewood into a walkaround tomato, oyster and wine fest—built around peak-season tomatoes, fresh oysters, seasonal spritzes, and wine stations pouring selections from the Loire Valley, Basque Coast, and the Mediterranean.

We’ll be serving oysters in every direction—raw, grilled, and dressed with things like tomato–watermelon gazpacho, feta brine, and vermouth. There’s a Bordier oyster trio with three different butters, warm oysters with Taleggio, caprese and burrata at their peak, tomato butter toast, chilled gazpacho, and more.

Wine tasting tickets are available as an add-on, with additional tickets and bottles available throughout the afternoon.
