Seven thousand fresh oysters from Eastern Cape, South Africa and more than 10 wine estates will be the toast of this weekend’s two days of oysters and wine pairing and food extravaganza at Avani.

Widely-travelled Avani Gaborone General Manager, Riaan Van Rooyen, who has also worked in Greece, says this rare and classy festival is Avani’s special end of year treat for the people of Botswana with a memorable and unique experience, for a change.
