Joseph Wendt embodies the relaxed and sophisticated Italian lifestyle , including a selection of fine Italian wines . From rare 100 point vintages to bottles you can enjoy every day while cooking at home , the in-house wine shop , “ Il Vino Sarto ,” is a destination for cultured collectors and new wine lovers alike . Numerous local restaurants have sought after Joseph Wendt ’ s expert palette for wine dinners and wine list consultations - with exciting collaborations to come in the near future as the Naples dining scene continues to grow .
Of all the extraordinary items displayed in Wendt ’ s storefront , his selection of bespoke shoes is always a standout and a client favorite , making it the top shoe destination for men . Just in time for the holidays , Wendt ’ s shoemaker , Mario Bemer , traveled in from Italy to craft custom footwear for the man who has it all . Mario Bemer is recognized as one of the most esteemed shoemakers of our time , personally crafting shoes that follow traditional techniques with a modern and eclectic style .
Every pair is carefully measured for the best possible fit before personally selecting every detail including leather , color , style , fit and function . With the Naples event season upon us , it ’ s a wonderful time to select a few striking pairs of shoes that can be designed , crafted and delivered to your doorstep in a matter of weeks . Wendt is proud to carry the finest and most rare materials - including a recently crafted pair made of Kudu , an African Antelope hide dyed to perfection . If you prefer a more laid back look , Wendt and his shoemaker are able to provide you with a relaxed loafer , comfortable sneaker or even a custom golf shoe .
If you ’ ve been hunting for the perfect gift , this is it ! Gift certificates are available and can be paired with a wine tasting for a truly unique experience . We encourage you to contact Joseph Wendt directly with questions so he can create a memorable gift and experience for the man in your life . Cheers !
