NAPLES, Fla. - Nov. 8, 2024 - PRLog -- Old Vines is celebrating its first anniversary at Mercato in Naples, marking a milestone year as a dining destination for casual elegance and innovative cuisine.

Old Vines Naples at Mercato celebrated its one-year anniversary with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Nov. 7. The event, held in partnership with the Greater Naples Chamber of Commerce, was attended by representatives of the Chamber, its members and devoted patrons of the Naples dining scene. Guests gathered to reflect on the past year and share their excitement for the future.

"It's hard to believe that it has been a year since we opened our doors here in Mercato," says Brooke Kravetz, chef-partner of Old Vines Naples at Mercato. "We have an amazing, talented team with a vision for the future of Old Vines in Naples. We're very excited for what's to come, including the introduction of weekend brunch starting later this month!"

As part of the anniversary celebrations, Old Vines is hosting a Champagne, Oysters and Caviar dinner on Nov. 14, which will feature an indulgent four-course menu crafted by Chef Brooke with champagne to pair. Guests will enjoy a selection of bites enhanced with exquisite caviar, a variety of baked oysters and oysters on the half shell, and plated courses such as black bass and filet mignon.

The special anniversary dinner is $150 per person and will take place on Thursday, Nov. 14, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Old Vines in Mercato, located at 9105 Strada Place in Naples. Reservations are required, and space is limited. To make a reservation, visit OldVines.net/Champagne (https://link.mediaoutreach.meltwater.com/ls/click?upn=u00...).

Since its establishment in Kennebunk, Maine in 2009, Old Vines has embodied casual elegance with its selection of fine wine, innovative twists on classic dishes and attentive service. The venerable Old Vines Wine Bar expanded its presence into Florida in 2023 with the addition of two new locations, Old Vines Naples at Mercato and Old Vines Supper Club.

Old Vines Naples at Mercato showcases imaginative reinterpretations of classic dishes inspired by Florida flavors. The wine cellar emphasizes lesser-known varietals from family-run vineyards and small producers worldwide, providing exceptional value over mass-market alternatives. The restaurant offers an exclusive Wine Locker program, featuring special discounts, events and members-only perks. Displayed in the main dining room, Old Vines' 54 climate-controlled wine lockers each hold up to 12 bottles, secure and climate-controlled, with the member's name embossed in brushed nickel.
