Restaurant and Retail Events:  Winery Lunches, Dinners, and Tastings

This is a not-to-be-missed opportunity to hear first-hand from some of the world's finest winemakers and proprietors. Nantucket is nationally known for its concentration of distinctive restaurants producing delicious fare. Many of the island's best chefs will be devising prix fixe lunches and dinners created to showcase the wine of the host vintner.  We also list here some opportunities to taste at some of Nantucket's retail wine boutiques.
