More than 450 people attended the Best of the Vineyard awards on June 7, held at Farm Neck Golf Club in Oak Bluffs. 

The contest, now in its twenty-second year, celebrates the best the Island has to offer, as chosen by its readers. More than 69,000 votes were cast in eighty-seven categories, from Best Beach to Best Lobster Roll and Best Veterinarian.

Standouts this year included Catboat Charters, which won Best Sailing Charter for the first time, and Rosewater Wine & Spirits, in Edgartown, which was named Best New Store/Business. Best New Restaurant winner The Sweet Life, in Oak Bluffs, is featured on the cover of the magazine.

The complete list of winners and runners-up is available in the July issue of Martha's Vineyard Magazine, on newsstands now. Voting for next year's contest begins July 1 at mvmagazine.com.  For more photos of the festivities, go to facebook.com/mvmagazine.
