Wishing for Spring

Nantucket in May is always a great idea, but especially so from the 14th to the 18th when the annual Wine Festival takes place. Now in its 12th year, the Festival is headquartered at the White Elephant Hotel on the harbor.

This year, several of Burgundy’s top winemakers will be on hand, as well as five vintners from Napa and seven from Stag’s Leap. In addition to the many tastings and wine/food pairing events, there will be tons of seminars, as well as the Celebrity Chef and Winemaker Auction Dinner and the Charity Gala. The signature event, the Grand Tasting, is held at the Nantucket Yacht Club.
