Chef Brendan McGill will host an afternoon of oysters and wine on Sunday, Jan. 29. The class will be held at Verjus from 3 to 5 p.m.

Guests will be treated to a brief oyster history lesson followed by instruction on how to properly shuck one yourself. McGill will also cover great oyster accompaniments like a classic mignonette. There will also be wine pairings with the oysters and discussion about pairings by Tahlia Bolden, Hitchcock’s beverage director.

Best to reserve a spot soon, though, as there is only room for 20 guests. Tickets are $50 and include 12 oysters with wine pairings. To reserve your spot, visit hitchcockrestaurants.brownpapertickets.com
