"The 25th annual Naples Winter Wine Festival (NWWF) will take place January 24–26, 2025 at The Ritz-Carlton Naples, Tiburón:

• Live auction*: Saturday, January 25, 11 AM–5 PM*
• Dinners*: Friday, January 24, evening*

The NWWF is an exclusive event with limited ticket packages, starting at $17,500 per couple. The festival features renowned vintners, celebrity chefs, and a lineup of featured sommeliers. Proceeds benefit the Naples Children & Education Foundation (NCEF), which supports charitable programs for underprivileged and at-risk children in Collier County. Since 2001, the NWWF has raised almost $302 million for children in need.

*The tagline "Festivus for the rest of us" became popular after the {Seinfeld} episode aired in the 1990's. Some say Festivus is a form of playful consumer resistance, while others describe it as the perfect secular theme for a December {er, January} gathering.
