After a day of exploring at the Winter Antiques Show in Round Top, guests joined G&G and Explore Charleston at Windy Knoll for a memorable meal by chef Aaron Bludorn of Bludorn and Navy Blue. Following a lively cocktail hour featuring Charleston’s High Wire Distilling Co. cocktails, Chef Bludorn treated guests to a multicourse dinner of reimagined Southern classics featuring Lowcountry Oyster Company in a gorgeous Texas setting.
