Natural Wines Naples
naples, FL, 34103
Natural Wines Naples is honored to be the 1st store in Florida that is 100% dedicated to Natural Wine. To us, Natural Wine is not something trendy. It's a return to chemical free farming and living soils, hand harvesting, low yields, native yeast fermentation, and no added sugars, colors, or sulfites during fermentation. The end goal of this traditional, natural way of growing grapes and making wine is to produce wine that is an authentic expression of its vineyard, its grape varieties and its vintage, instead of making wine from chemically grown grapes based on a predetermined recipe or formula which requires additives and synthetic chemicals which are foreign to the grapes themselves. Healthy grapes from living soils contain everything they need to make nourishing, delicious, beautiful, thought provoking wine. We invite everyone to experience what real wine really tastes like.

One of the changes included tobacco policy updates in 2009 that designated NCH a smoke-free campus and a new policy in 2011 to no longer hire smokers. NCH continues to see a drop in its employee smoking rate, falling from 2.8 percent in 2015 to 1.3 percent in 2016. The smoking rate in Florida for the same time frame was 18 percent. NCH has seen a 40 percent drop in the number of work days lost due to injuries from 2015 to 2016.
