The last of the food and wine has been consumed, the sound of the final hammer echoes in your mind and the underserved children of Collier County have a brighter future: the 2023 Naples Winter Wine Festival may be over, but it’s not too soon to think about 2024.

First, however, it’s time to join the Moke Revolution!

Created as a military vehicle for the British Army in the 1950s, the Moke became the ride of choice for celebrities such as Brigitte Bardot, Princess Margaret and the Beach Boys. Before long, the electric, eco-friendly and open-air car became synonymous with breezy island chic.

The street legal Moke is equally at home on the road, in airports and shopping malls, on the beach or at the golf course. As the winning bidder on this lot, you’ll receive a bright yellow, tricked-out 2022 Moke LSV with Bluetooth and a high-performing charging system.

When next year’s Festival arrives, your Jeroboam Package will give your party of four VIP access to the weekend’s events: Access to Thursday’s Grand Crew party; four invitations to the Meet the Kids Day Tour and Luncheon; four reserved seats at a Vintner Dinner of your choice, with private car and driver, and all four guaranteed at the same dinner; four reserved seats at the Auction, plus an invitation to Wine Down and the Celebration Brunch.

The value of a Jeroboam Package for the 2023 Festival was $35,000. By being the first to reserve tickets for 2024, you’ll make sure you have a front-row view for all events. Your Resort View rooms at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort, Naples will place you at the vital center of the action.

You’ll also receive a pair of electric bicycles: one RadCity 5 Plus High-Step (for riders 5’4”-6’5”) and one RadCity 5 Plus Step-Thru (for riders 4’8”-6’0”). These effortless vehicles offer hydraulic disc brakes and a geared motor hub designed for climbing hills without breaking a sweat; they’re perfect for couples, or as father-son or mother-daughter transportation.

While you wait for next year, play a round of golf at the exclusive, invitation-only Calusa Pines Golf Club. Calusa Pines was named one of the top modern courses in the country by Golfweek magazine and is the highest rated course in Southwest Florida, ranked in the top 100 golf courses in America by Golf Digest since 2007. Designed by Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry, the par-72 course ranges over 7,200 yards with a slope of 148. During your round, you’ll be accompanied by a resident pro and caddie.

To look your best for 2024, the men in your party will pay a visit to élevée Fine Clothing, Naples’ premiere source for bespoke clothing. elevée Fine Clothing by Rickey is an individualized approach to design that accentuates your body’s natural shape and allows you to experience true comfort and style with every step you take. With your custom-tailored jacket, shirt and trousers, you’ll look your very best under the tent.

The ladies will also be fit with the finest when they go to create a custom piece of jewelry to show off at the auction with a certificate to International Diamond Center.

In addition, the winning bidders will receive a mixed case of six 2006 Dominus Estate, crafted by Christian Moueix of Château Petrus, and six 2012 Williams Selyem, a legendary Pinot Noir from the Russian River Valley. These wines are donated courtesy of Rosann and the late Bill Nunnelly, longtime Festival supporters and champions of the children of our community. As you raise your glass at the 2024 Naples Winter Wine Festival with some of the best wines at your table, say a toast to kids that have been helped by the generosity of Nunnellys.

With the support of generous donors like yourself, the Festival has raised nearly $244 million since 2001. Make a commitment to get in on the ground floor for next year and raise your paddle high.
