Nottinghamshire lost by 115 runs on home soil as Somerset booked their place in the final.
Azhar Ali's 72 and Peter Trego's 73 got the ball rolling for the visitors at Trent Bridge, before some lower order hitting saw them to 337 all out.
Ben Slater and Alex Hales made fifties in a good start to the chase, but Nottinghamshire then slipped from 110-1 to 156-6.
They rallied somewhat, but were still bowled out in the 39th over for just 222, meaning Somerset progress to their first Lord's final in eight years where they will face holders Hampshire, hoping to improve on their poor recent record at the Home of Cricket.
Somerset last lifted a trophy at the historic ground in 2001, but have lost their last three finals there.
Notts struggled to contain the Somerset batsmen at the start and finish of the innings, despite Jake Ball taking 4-62, twice taking two wickets in an over.
In the run chase, they lost their way in a 12-over spell with Slater (58) and Hales (54) at the crease.
The start of the innings was key for Somerset, with Tom Banton (59), Ali and Trego scoring at more than six an over.
James Hildreth quickly followed Ali back to the pavilion, before a brief rebuild between Lewis Gregory and Roelof van der Merwe.
When they were both dismissed, Craig and Jamie Overton added 47 between them off just 31 balls to boost the total.
Nottinghamshire failed to capitalise on their similarly strong opening salvo with the bat, with van der Merwe taking 3-29 as the pick of Somerset's bowlers.

James Vince gave Trevor Bayliss something to think about with the World Cup coming up, as the England opener starred in a four wicket win by Hampshire over Lancashire.
Vince scored 79 in the run chase at the Ageas Bowl, while England seam bowler James Anderson limped from the field injured after being struck on the leg during one of his overs.
Hampshire reached the target in the penultimate over having bowled out the visitors for 241.
Gareth Berg took his best List A figures on 5-26, with the South African-born all-rounder taking the last four wickets in a Lancashire collapse from 231-5 in the 45th over to be bowled out with 14 balls remaining.
Mason Crane ended with 3-42 from his 10 overs, outshining Liam Dawson's 1-49, with the latter in contention for a place in the World Cup squad when it is announced later this month.
Dawson's dismissal was a key one though, having Jake Lehmann caught for 62 after Crane bowled Keaton Jennings.
Australian Lehmann's dismissal was followed by a brief recovery for Lancashire, but Crane struck again to remove Rob Jones, as Berg came in and swept through the tail.
Saqib Mahmood then sent Tom Alsop for a duck, Aneurin Donald for three and Sam Northeast for one back to the pavilion to leave the hosts 23-3.
Vince and Rilee Rossouw combined in a stand of 122 with the latter making 85, to rebuild and recover the run chase.
Vince was run out, but Rossouw pushed on with the lower order to the brink of victory, and although he was bowled by Liam Livingstone, Berg and James Fuller saw Hampshire into the final.
