West Wing in Shanghai has launched the “Stories Over Oysters” themed event series, bringing an immersive gourmet experience centered around oyster flavors, wine culture and social connection.
As a delicatessen and wine space located on the lower floor of Andaz Shanghai ITC, West Wing seamlessly blends continental bistro culture with Shanghai’s urban lifestyle.
From an exclusive masterclass with limited seating to a relaxed evening party, guests embarked on a journey exploring oceanic terroir and urban lifestyles through exquisite cuisine and meaningful conversations on the summer evening of the opening day on July 31.
From flavor exploration tosensory connection
A key highlight of the opening day, the Oyster Masterclass was held in the afternoon with only 16 seats available. Led by a professional oyster sommelier, the session guided guests through four premium oyster selections from world-renowned regions: Moana (New Zealand), La Bourrichie (France), Tarbouriech (France), and Ostra Regal (Ireland).
Through a layered tasting experience covering regional terroir, farming environments and tasting techniques, guests discovered the distinctive flavor expressions that different sea areas impart to oysters.
From 7 pm onward, the event officially opened to all guests. Attendees could enjoy a special offer featuring New Zealand Moana oysters and selected wines.
Grown in the pristine, cold waters of the Southern Hemisphere, Moana oysters are renowned for their crisp, fresh taste and delicate cucumber aroma. As the oysters’ briny freshness unfolded alongside the rich aromas of fine wines, guests naturally engaged in relaxed conversations, allowing the flavor experience to become a bridge for connection – echoing West Wing’s philosophy of fostering an open, authentic, and tasteful social culture.
