JW Marriott announced that it will be holding 'Gather by JW' at the JW Marriott Venice Resort & Spa on the idyllic Island of Roses as a festival in collaboration with FOOD & WINE. Over the course of three days in September, guests will be able to dive into Italian cuisine with interactive programs, cooking demonstrations, wine tastings, exclusive dinners and much more.
Beyond being a great event for those who are passionate about food, this year's event is set to incorporate mindfulness experiences for an even more enriched experience. Soon, JW Marriott will be releasing details on the collaborations it is co-creating with top brands in the health and wellness space for its "soul-nourishing" events. True to its name, Gather by JW is about much more than food, as it centers on the nourishment of togetherness.
