Experience Dillon's Small Batch Event During Nantucket Wine & Food Festival
If you're headed to the island for the Nantucket Wine & Food Festival, there's one event you won't want to miss: a vibrant public cocktail tasting experience hosted by Dillon's Small Batch Distillers, right in the heart of downtown at 21 Broad and 19 Broad.
A Spirited Experience on the Porch
On Saturday, May 17, from 1:30 to 4 PM, the porches and front driveway of 21 Broad will come alive with a celebration of craft cocktails, culinary creativity, and immersive artisan experiences. This pop-up-style tasting is open to the public and offers a chance to sip, sample, and savor with some of the best in the business.
Michelin-Starred Guest Chef from Canada
Visiting from Canada, a Michelin-starred chef will be on-site preparing signature tasting recipes infused with the distinct character of Dillon's spirits. It's a rare chance to experience high-level culinary artistry in a casual, open-air Nantucket setting.
Live Embroidery by Abbode
In a unique artisan twist, NYC-based design studio Abbode will be offering live embroidery of custom canvas bags throughout the afternoon. It’s a perfect blend of creativity, style, and take-home charm that pairs perfectly with the elevated-yet-laid-back island atmosphere.
Complimentary Signed Cookbooks
Guests attending the tasting will also receive a complimentary cookbook signed by Dillon's founder, Geoff Dillon, as a keepsake from this one-of-a-kind event.
Why This Event Belongs on Your Festival Agenda
Located just steps from the harbor and right in the middle of downtown Nantucket, 21 Broad is the perfect setting for this open-air tasting experience. It’s the ideal midday stop between festival seminars and evening dinners—no ticket or reservation required.
Whether you're in town for the full weekend or just passing through, this Dillon's event offers the perfect taste of the island's food, design, and cocktail culture.
