Oysters & Champagne at the 30A Wine Festival

On Thursday, February 21, Garden & Gun partnered with Alys Beach to host Oysters and Champagne, an event that kicked off the annual 30A Wine Festival in Alys Beach, Florida. The event featured oyster companies from the Southeast: Rappahannock Oyster Co. from Virginia, Lowcountry Oyster Co. from South Carolina, Water Street Seafood from Florida, and Grand Isle Sea Farms from Louisiana. Guests enjoyed music from Lilac Wine, raw and chef-prepared oysters, bubbly pairings from Broadbent Selections, and cocktails from Cathead Distillery in a beautiful setting.
