Martha's Vineyard
Food & Wine Festival
Anchor18 took over production of the Martha’s Vineyard Food & Wine Festival in 2016 and immediately started to rebuild the brand and reputation for the 5-day event. Since then, our team has elevated and curated the Festival to include 40+ individual events each year, including lunches, dinners, educational seminars and of course, the Grand Tasting, which draws close to 1,000 attendees and 90+ winemakers, restaurateurs and related vendors.
Our holistic approach to Festival production ensures that each element and touchpoint is seamless, from development of the annual calendar of events, to sponsorship coordination and activation, talent booking, event design, marketing, ticket sales and promotion.
As a result, the Festival has grown in size and scope each year and attendee feedback and loyalty is strong.
