Now that Summer is officially over, why not start planning a Fall getaway weekend? No better place to travel in October than Martha’s Vineyard, specially on October 14th through 16th, because their 5th Annual Food and Wine Festival will be underway!
If you’ve never been to the Vineyard, let me tell you a little about it. It’s an island well-known for it’s gorgeous beaches, picturesque towns, white picket fences and amazing seafood (specially their lobster rolls!) Approximately two and a half hours from Boston, you’ll need to either fly in from Boston or take the Steamship Authority Ferry. You’ll step onto a magical island, one that is there to make your wishes come true.
Now, imagine all that and a Food and Wine Festival! This year’s festival has rounded up the best chefs in Massachusetts and the Islands, as well as special Food Network Chopped Champion, Chef Ric Orland. Here are some of the tastings and demonstrations you’ll be able to partake in:
- Opening Reception – Sweet Chefs & Cocktails

Wondering where you’ll stay? A great option is the Harbor View Hotel, in the heart of Edgartown. Flanked by historical homes, you’ll enjoy breakfast in the deck overlooking the lighthouse, have a quiet stroll through downtown or enjoy any of the amenities offered.
