The island of Nantucket off the coast of Massachusetts is often seen as a summer destination but as someone who grew up on Cape Cod I can attest to the fact that the fall can be one of the best times to visit the island. Here's a reason to visit, the White Elephant is holding their third annual Chef and Shop series beginning October 26th. The series runs four weekends and each weekend, a new premier chef from New York, Boston, or New Orleans will visit the hotel to mingle with guests and give a demonstration and tasting with paired wines on Saturday afternoon on the heated Harborview Terrace overlooking the Nantucket Harbor. The four chefs are Alexandra Guarnaschelli of Butter in New York, Dan Silverman of Lever House in New York, Geoff Gardner of Sel de la Terre in Boston, and Bob Iacovone of Curvee in New Orleans. The hotel includes a library with a fireplace, morning coffee and danish, exercise room, an afternoon Port and cheese reception and in-room spa treatments. Rates start at $175 per room, per night
