So, the other day I had decided to go for a run to work off a little of the superb pivo from my first week here. I have been here long enough now to have a pretty good sense of direction even with the winding narrow roads. I started Feed the Animals in my headphones and started heading down hill. After about five blocks or so I had stumbled upon the entrance to a local park, at first it looked very forrest like and steep. The steep part was correct but the forrest observation only lasted a little while. Once out of the trees I was met by the hill covered in grape vines, it was a full vineyard in the middle of a park, in the middle of the area that I live.
The vineyard is beautifly landscaped and is the perfect serene scene along the running path. The main vineyard house lies at the top of the hill surrounded by a stone terrace.
Off of the main house there is a festive and comfortable looking, open air wine bar and beer.
These picturesque vines stretch halfway across the park. When I came back to take pictures, I found a hole in the fence where they had been planting new vines. Once past the perimeter, I was able to sneak a few white grapes off the vine. They made the perfect saturday morning snack!
