Winter in Naples, Florida? Twist our sweater-encased arms and hand us a few glasses of fine wine at the Naples Winter Wine Festival spanning the weekend of January 23-25 at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort, Naples. You won't find grapes growing in Naples, but you will find one of the most successful charity wine auctions in the nation according to Wine Spectator. Since 2001, this mélange of many of the world's top vintners, chefs, wine collectors and philanthropists has raised more than $123 million to improve the physical, emotional and educational lives of at-risk and underprivileged children in Collier County through the Naples Children & Education Foundation (NCEF). Aria executive chef and owner Gerry Klaskala is one of the 18 celebrity chefs sailing in from all corners of the U.S.A. to prepare signature dishes at festival vintner dinners in private homes and Naples venues on Friday, January 23. Direct ticket inquiries to Barrett Farmer, barrett@napleswinefestival.com.
