The biggest celebration of the bounty Martha’s Vineyard and New England is back as the Martha’s Vineyard Food & Wine Festival returns June 6 - 9, 2024. Featuring four days of the finest seafood and farm fresh ingredients, the festival attracts epicureans from across the country to enjoy all Martha’s Vineyard and the Northeastern United States has to offer. Details of the Grand Tastings, Seminars, and Exclusive Private dinners will be announced at a later date. 

 

After a pandemic-caused hiatus, MV Food and Wine Festival roared back to life last October with a broad selection of thoughtfully curated Culinary Experiences, Private Dinners, and Grand Tastings featuring top chefs on the island and beyond. Every event sold out weeks in advance.  For 2024, the wildly successful event will move to the start of the summer and greatly expand its programming, so guests can celebrate the beautiful weather on the island, and allow more chefs and restaurants to participate. 

 

“Last year was a giant success for the festival and the island,” said Adam Epstein, founder of the Vineyard Arts and Culture Foundation, a Martha’s Vineyard 501-c3 Non-Profit organization. “This was our first Food and Wine since 2019, and the island welcomed us back with open arms. Now we want to do more to showcase all that the culinary communities of Martha’s Vineyard and New England have to offer.  Together, this unique mashup will make this an island wide celebration of the culinary arts the only Food & Wine Festival to attend on the Eastern Seaboard.” 

 

The festival is a partnership between the Vineyard Arts and Culture Foundation, the producer of the popular Beach Road Weekend Music Festival in Vineyard Haven, Innovation Arts & Entertainment, an industry leader producing hundreds of unique live entertainment experiences annually across North America, and a21, leader in producing culinary events across the country, with shows in over 40 markets including Atlanta Food & Wine Festival, Whiskies of the World Tour, Heritage Fire Tour and more.
