2nd Annual Winter Wine Festivus For The Rest Of Us @ Maddox of Rebeccas

Hello fellow wine enthusiasts and Happy Holidays!
The Naples Winter Wine Festival has been the mega–charity spectacle since 2001, raising an astonishing $300+ millionfor the Naples Children & Education Foundation. Every January, the city sparkles a little brighter—and so do the price tags.
Because let’s be honest: tickets to this legendary affair are rarer than a unicorn sighting and start at a casual $17,000. Yes… seventeen. Thousand. Dollars.

So this January, for those of us who love great wine, great company, and great causes—but prefer not to auction off a kidney—the Exceptional Wine Experiences Group and For The Love of Wine are hosting a Winter Wine Festival gathering of our own.
A festival for the people. A festival for the rest of us.
Your official invitation awaits below… 🍷✨

Does your annual Naples Winter Wine Festival invitation mysteriously vanish into the ether? Not quite ready to drop $$$$ for a seat at a glittering gala reserved for a privileged few? You’re in good company.
Join us for the 2nd Annual Winter Wine Festivus For The Rest Of Us—a playful, good-spirited fundraiser that tips its hat to the iconic Seinfeld episode poking fun at the over-commercialization of the holidays. This lively, inclusive celebration offers an accessible winter wine festival for all of us who love great wine, great people, and a great cause.
Come raise a glass, share a laugh, and support our community—all without needing a tux, a gown, or a trust fund. Cheers to Festivus! 🍷✨
This January, we’re proud to once again support the Naples Children & Education Foundation (NCF) , an organization dedicated to improving the lives of underprivileged and at-risk children right here in Collier County. Their mission is deeply important because every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and thrive—and together, we can help make that possible.

We’ll gather and mingle amid the warm, inviting ambiance of The Maddox at Rebecca’s, glasses of Champagne in hand as the evening begins to sparkle. Guests will indulge in Naples’ finest cuisine crafted by Chef Darren Vielleux, thoughtfully paired with exceptional wines curated by Rebecca’s own Wine Steward and Sommelier, Michael Latora.
Your host, Jason Michael Pate, will guide the festivities as we honor beloved Festivus traditions—the legendary Airing of Grievances, the daring Feats of Strength, and the always-unexpected Festivus Miracles.
We’ll close the night with a raffle featuring Festivus-worthy prizes (to be announced) and the always-entertaining Festivus Wine Pull, where VIP and Grand Cru guests select a concealed bottle valued between $25 and $100.
