Each year Naples host’s one of the largest fundraising auctions in the country benefitting the underprivileged children of Collier County.  This year, The Naples Winter Wine Festival brought in over a whopping $12Million dollars over the course of about 6 hours.  The night before the auction, there are a variety of dinners held at private homes of the festival’s trustees.  Each dinner is matched with a Celebrity Chef and Master Vintner.  This year, I had the privilege of photographing Chef Curtis Duffy, from Grace in Chicago paired with Colgin Wine Cellars.  The theme of this year’s dinner was Willa Wonka and Chocolate Factory–  The incredible decor provided by 50Fifty Floral Art.  As you can see, it was truly a night to remember!heather donlan
