Friends and neighbors,
There’s a lot to look forward to this week—from wine tastings and markets to a rare peek inside one of Naples’ private social clubs. Thursday kicks off with Seed to Table’s monthly wine tasting, Saturday brings live DJs at The Maddox, and Sunday, you can find delicate jewelry, beautiful leather bags, and delicious homemade treats in Bayshore.
Looking ahead, Old Vines Supper Club is hosting a live demo with Chef Sophia, Artis—Naples welcomes world-class pianist Konstantin Soukhovetski, and Collier Museum’s restaurant panel spills behind-the-scenes stories from Naples’ dining.
If that’s not enough, I’m also encouraging you to start thinking about your dinner plans for Sizzle Dining in September. I hope something catches your eye!
Keep on,
