Our January Food + Wine issue is here. On the cover: the newly opened The Merchant Room at the Naples Beach Club, A Four Seasons Resort, where the flamingo mural captures subtropical charm for a new generation.
In this edition, we introduce the first of a three-part series on the once-in-a-generation redevelopment, starting with the architecture, design and public spaces shaping the resort's next chapter. Beyond the Beach Club, we examine the forces defining Southwest Florida’s culinary moment—from our 2026 Best New Restaurants to the magnetic sommelier broadening Naples’ wine culture, to the women expanding our understanding of Asian cuisine beyond borders, fixed categories and shortcuts.
This is coastal indulgence at its best. Find the issue on newsstands and online. https://bit.ly/3N1rnLs
