Be the queen's guest

Who doesn't love to ogle the over-the-top auction lots at the Naples Winter Wine Festival held every year in late January?

Wine festival attendees who pay $8,500 per couple will have the opportunity to bid on some auction lots that include unique experiences. They include an around-the-world trip by private jet, a 10-day adventure through Italy during truffle-hunting season and a tour of Gettysburg with documentary filmmaker Ken Burns.

One special lot includes tickets to the Royal Enclosure at Windsor Castle to view the Order of Garter Procession with the Queen of England, right.

There are plenty of toys to be auctioned off, too. These include a 2015 Mercedes SLS AMG GT Final Edition, below, one of only 350 in the world.

Most recently, the three-day bacchanalian festival raised $13.5 million in January for children's charities in the region. Much of the money is raised at the high-profile auction.
