Luncheon Symposia

The Nantucket Wine Festival is proud to continue the luncheon symposia program begun in 2008. This year, we offer a series of four great wine symposium/luncheon events at some of Nantucket's best addresses. The program will unfold with a one-hour symposium featuring distinguished winemakers, who will lead a discussion of their wines with the assembled guests. Each of these events will be limited to 40-60 people, thus retaining the intimacy and scale that distinguishes our festival. Immediately after the symposium, the guests will be treated to a four-course luncheon of superb cuisine featuring the wines of the guest winemakers.

The four events for 2010 are:
