Cooper’s Hawk opens in Fort Myers

Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurants, a lifestyle brand centered around food and wine, has opened its newest location in Fort Myers.

The restaurant, located at Olympic Court on Six Mile Cypress Parkway near Daniels Parkway, is the company’s second Southwest Florida location and its 54th nationwide.

Cooper’s Hawk is an award-winning winery, restaurant, artisan market and Napa-style tasting room concept with headquarters in Downers Grove, Illinois. The company was founded in 2005 by CEO Tim McEnery.

McEnery’s restaurants serve 600,000 Wine Club Members, who enjoy limited production Wines of the Month, as well as travel and dining experiences.

The Fort Myers culinary team is led by Senior Area Director Tim Mahler and General Manager Clair Fleshner, who work closely with Executive Kitchen Manager Jonathan Hood. The contemporary-American menu is infused with international flavors, and each dish on the menu is listed with a bin number, guiding guests to their selection’s perfect wine pairing.

The restaurant’s design evokes architecture of California wine country, welcoming guests into an environment that encourages conversation over food and wine. The expansive space features an indoor dining area that can accommodate 260 guests as well as outdoor patio seating for 48 guests. The venue houses flexible private dining space for up to 48 guests that is divisible by a sliding wall that creates two smaller spaces for smaller events. The restaurant is fronted by a Napastyle tasting room and retail space.

NCCER, Lowe’s hosts graduation ceremony for recovery academy

NCCER and Lowe’s on April 14 held a graduation ceremony at the Luminary Hotel for 30 students of the Rapid Relief Construction Academy program, which was created to help infuse more skilled craft professionals into Southwest Florida communities to help rebuilding efforts after Hurricane Ian.

Made possible through a $250,000 donation from Lowe’s as part of its ongoing efforts to support the Southwest Florida community, the six-week, tuition-free, nationally recognized construction training program was designed to give displaced workers and those interested in working in the trades the opportunity to help with storm rebuilding and restoration efforts.

NCCER enlisted Florida Masonry Education to teach students the essential skills needed to jumpstart their construction education and expand the construction workforce in the hardest-hit and most damaged communities near Ft. Myers.
