In Transit Blog: Wine Time in Nantucket

Written By Unknown on Jumat, 09 Mei 2014 | 17.35

The warmer weather may still be holding out, but pourers at the Nantucket Wine Festival won't be.

This year's fete will bring 600 wines from more than 150 labels to the  discerning palates swarming Nantucket Bay May 14 to 18.

Adding a new level of education and wine appreciation to this year's event will be a team of professional sommeliers gathered from some of the best restaurants in the Northeast, including Lauren Collins from L'Espalier in Boston and Michael Madrigale from Bar Boulud in New York. The 25 sommeliers will be on hand at winemaker presentations to offer guests more background on the wines.

But hobnobbing with the vintner and chef elite is the festivalgoer's favorite pastime, and getting face to face with the 2014 Luminary of the Year, Paul Draper of  Ridge Vineyards in California, will cost you.

Look for Mr. Draper and his 1984 Monte Bello Estate on May 15 at a five-course meal prepared by Dean Corbett, the owner of Corbett's: An American Place restaurant in Louisville, Ky. Hosted in a private historic home — as part of the "Great Wines in Grand Houses" dinner and tasting series — the $750 soirĂ©e begins with a Veuve Clicquot Champagne reception. (Other dinners in the series start at $85.)

That may mean missing the festival's annual Harbor Gala, also on May 15, a pairing of 40 wines and dishes prepared by award-winning chefs at the White Elephant, the historic waterfront hotel that also hosts the festival's signature Grand Tastings, daily.

Special festival packages at the hotel and its companion resort range from $375 to $3,600 a night during that week, depending on the type of accommodation.

Beach and ferry shuttles, afternoon wine and port and other amenities, like the complimentary use of a BMW X5 vehicle for those who book a three-bedroom loft, are included, as are tickets to the gala, entry to the Grand Tastings and dinner at the hotel's Brant Point Grill.
