Third Annual MMA Seas, Skies, & Vines Winemaker Dinner
The Maria Mitchell Association is excited to announce that the Third Annual Celebration of the Seas, Skies, and Vines is Friday, May 16! Save your seat now – Purchase Tickets Here.
This year, we are honored to collaborate with Champagne Taittinger, Maison Louis Jadot, Paul Jaboulet Aîné, and Taylor Fladgate—four esteemed wineries that share a profound commitment to nature, sustainability, and environmental stewardship, values that align seamlessly with MMA’s mission.
Champagne Taittinger is renowned for its dedication to sustainable vineyard practices, ensuring the land thrives for generations while producing exceptional, environmentally conscious Chardonnay-forward Champagne. Maison Louis Jadot, founded in 1859, has built a legacy of crafting exquisite wines through sustainable viticulture and organic farming across its 528 acres of vineyards, including 234 of Burgundy’s most prestigious Premier and Grand Cru plots. (Bonjour, Clos Vougeot—we will taste it!) Notably, Louis Jadot’s 2024 harvest is now certified organic—an achievement well worth celebrating!
Paul Jaboulet Aîné remains a benchmark in the Northern Rhône Valley, creating bespoke cuvées that honor both tradition and terroir, with estate vines certified AB organic since 2016. Meanwhile, Taylor Fladgate enjoys a global reputation for crafting wines of remarkable consistency and exceptional quality. Best known for its sought-after vintage Portos and venerable tawnies, Taylor Fladgate is also credited for founding The Porto Protocol, an international non-profit institution committed to make a greater contribution to mitigate climate change.
We look forward to sharing this unforgettable experience with you!
MMA fan and our dear friend EJ Harvey, Proprietor of The Seagrille, is taking the reins in crafting a French inspired menu with local flavor. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Richard Phillips’ magnificent home, we will toast on the bluff to the sunset, stargaze under the Nantucket sky, and enjoy the music of Nantucket Sound.
The incredible support over the past two wine dinners has raised over $50,000, which helped us fund the restoration of the Vestal Street Observatory. Now, we’re setting the stage for an unforgettable evening that will transport you straight to France, Nantucket Style. Please join us for an evening of sensational wine and food, music and celestial wonder.
Nantucket Wine Festival
With the help of island purveyors, restaurants and retailers, founder Denis Toner created what would become one of the most prestigious events of its kind. When the first vintners arrived to the island and bottles were uncorked, a magical tradition was launched. The festival now draws over 4000 attendees to the island for this annual spring fête and boasts a continually growing family of vintners, wineries, renowned chefs and restaurants.
Today, the NWF marks the awakening of the island when restaurants, galleries, activities and tours open for the season. The Grey Lady, our nickname for the island, is known as a culinary destination. The NWF Luminaries are honored to visit, many return and every year new talent arrives to partake. Still, the Nantucket Wine & Food Festival remains boutique in style and intimate in its setting, true to its original roots.
