Après Antiques Dinner

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 featuring Lowcountry Oyster Co. in a gorgeous Texas setting.
