Women’s History Month Spotlight: Sukie’s Wine Shop
Sukie Honeycutt’s entrepreneurial vision didn’t stop at Bayside! Read on to see another addition to her impressive portfolio – Sukie’s Wine Shop! What started as a simple idea to repurpose an underutilized space at Bayside Seafood Grill & Bar turned into one of Naples’ premier destinations for fine wines. Sukie’s Wine Shop, founded in 2014, is celebrating 11 years of bringing expertly curated wines to The Village Shops on Venetian Bay.
Sukie Honeycutt, a highly respected figure in the wine industry, has spent decades cultivating relationships with winemakers and winery owners around the world. Her expertise allows her to source everything from timeless favorites to cutting-edge selections, ensuring that Sukie’s Wine Shop offers something special for every wine lover.
Walking into the shop feels like stepping into the private cellar of a top vineyard, with an ever-evolving inventory that showcases a diverse range of grapes, terrains, and styles. Beyond the shop’s exceptional selection, Sukie’s Wine Shop offers an elevated experience with its Vintner’s Room, a sophisticated private dining space perfect for intimate gatherings, and its open-air patio for relaxed wine tastings and casual dining. Whether you’re looking for an everyday bottle or a rare vintage, Sukie’s dedication to quality and personal service makes every visit a unique experience.
As a woman who has built and shaped multiple successful businesses, Sukie’s passion for hospitality shines through in everything she does.

When asked, Sukie will tell you that her favorite wine is Antinori Bramito Cevaro Della Sala Chardonnay 2022. It is distinctly different from California Chardonnay – crisp, clean, with soft fruit flavors and a touch of well-integrated oak, retailing at $26.50.
