SAVOR WIMCO VILLAS’ NEW NANTUCKET COLLECTION WHEN BOOKING A VILLA
VACATION DURING THE 14TH ANNUAL NANTUCKET WINE FESTIVAL MAY 19-23

Oenophiles Will Delight in Extra-Special In-villa Welcome Gift

NEWPORT, RI, April, 2010 - With its newly launched Nantucket collection, Wimco Villas is gearing up to welcome guests to the “St. Barts of New England” for the 2010 season just in time for the 14th annual Nantucket Wine Festival May 19-23.

This five-day extravaganza has become one of the country’s premier lifestyle events where luminaries from the worlds of food and wine descend on this picturesque island to lead a series of seminars, tastings, symposiums, receptions and galas. Wimco Villas will now ensure that participants will be able to enjoy private accommodations that are the equal of such a fantastic event.

As a special welcome amenity, guests who book a Wimco Villa stay during the Nantucket Wine Festival will receive a palette-pleasing welcome gift upon arrival - a case of fine wines to sip and savor during their epicurean island getaway.

In addition to the fine wines found in each villa, Wimco guests will also have the opportunity to be special guests at a complimentary wine tasting event with one of Nantucket’s finest wine purveyors.

Wimco guests will also receive a dining advantage with Wimco’s exclusive “Friend of the Island” restaurant card which provides 10 percent off lunches and dinners at an array of participating Nantucket restaurants including Toppers, Brant Point Grill and Harbor Wok. This successful Wimco client program is also available on St. Barts.

Guests visiting Nantucket during the Wine Festival will also have the opportunity to bid on a St. Barts villa vacation package donated by Wimco which includes a complimentary week in a Wimco Villa, a gourmet dinner with delicious wines prepared in the villa for 4 people by a private chef. The package will be auctioned off on Saturday, May 22, with all proceeds going to the Nantucket Historical Association.
