From Oct. 16-19, food and wine lovers can find themselves on the idyllic island of Martha’s Vineyard for the annual Martha’s Vineyard Food & Wine Festival, while enjoying the comforts of the iconic Harbor View Hotel.

A beloved fixture on the Vineyard since 1891, the Harbor View Hotel offers luxury guest rooms and suites in the heart of historic Edgartown. From its broad veranda, the hotel boasts spectacular views of Edgartown Harbor, the Vineyard’s premier sailing and yachting location.

In 2012, Harbor View Hotel was named one of the “Top 50 U.S. Resorts” in Travel + Leisure’s “World’s Best Awards” issue, “Best Hotel on the Vineyard” by Martha’s Vineyard Magazine and was named “Best Resort/Hotel” by Cape Cod Magazine’s Gold Awards.

The four-day festival will showcase decadent dishes from local and regional chefs, a Grand Tasting, and seminars with wine experts from around the country. To celebrate the festival, Harbor View Hotel is offering visitors a special package that includes overnight accommodations in an elegant Captain’s Cottage suite, two tickets to the Grand Tasting event on Saturday, Oct. 18, and a bottle of sparkling wine delivered in-room, upon arrival.

Saturday night starting rates are $799, and a Friday night can be added for a starting rate of $499, excluding tax.

Harbor View Hotel is also hosting two events, the Gourmet Wine Cellar on Friday, Oct. 17, an exclusive dinner for fine wine collectors featuring 16 wine personalities and a gourmet menu, and the Grand Sunday Brunch at Water Street, the hotel’s fine dining restaurant.
