Events of the season are already underway, and anticipation is building for the twenty-third Naples Winter Wine Festival, which will take place February 3-5, one week later than typically scheduled, at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort, Naples.

Some of the biggest and hottest names in the wine world are making the trip again this year, including the festival’s honored vintner, Philippe Sereys de Rothschild of Château Mouton Rothschild. He will be recognized for his many contributions to the wine industry and help create a weekend of one-of-a-kind experiences alongside an impressive lineup of internationally acclaimed vintners, chefs, and featured sommeliers.
