Nantucket Wine Festival 16th Annual

Over the past 15 years the Nantucket Wine Festival has blossomed into one of the nation's most celebrated wine and food events. With the help of Nantucket landmark hotel, The White Elephant, most of this year's festival will be staged entirely in the heart of downtown Nantucket.

A spectacular dinner will be held at the White Elephant, followed by an auction of rare wines, large-bottle formats, and lifestyle packages, on Saturday, May 19th, at 7:00 pm at the White Elephant.  This dinner will be the marquee event of this year's Festival, featuring the cuisine of Executive Chef Bernard Guillas of The Marine Room in San Diego and Executive Chef Frederick Bisaillon of the Brant Point Grill, paired with the wines of Veuve Clicquot and Numanthia. 

The Auction (with auctioneer, Jamie Ritchie) will follow dinner and will feature rare wines, large-format bottles signed by the winemaker, and a variety of splendid and unusual "life-style" items. An event not to be missed. The Auction benefits the Nantucket Historical Association.
