Wine connoisseurs and culinary masterminds converge on Nantucket this weekend in celebration of top notch vino and cuisine. Join hundreds of other New England socialites for the Nantucket Wine Festival, the island’'s signature spring event.

The wine tasting begins with a kick-off party at the White Elephant, the scenic harbor-side hotel that acts as the festival’s home base. But the main event is the Grand Tasting, offering the most expansive selection of rare wines and champagnes. More than 150 wineries will take over the Nantucket Yacht Club, including the wineries from Stag’s Leap in the Napa region of California. This is an incredible opportunity, as this group rarely leaves Napa. Festival insiders suggest hitting it up on Sunday when crowds will be easier to navigate. Or, take a small break from the Saturday rush, and attend a sophisticated champagne and caviar tasting hosted by one of Nantucket’s culinary gems, American Seasons.
