"Wine is also front and center at another memorable moment — an excursion to a winery in Santorini, Greece. Our van driver weaves along narrow roads up steep hills, the Aegean a constant shimmering blue below. On a random roadside, we pull over so our guide can show us the grapevines. Growers cultivate the vines into low basket-like shapes, protecting the grapes from the sun, heat, and fierce island winds. We applaud nature and ingenuity before continuing to Santo Winery in Pyrgos, a village not far from Fira, Santorini’s capital." - Janice Wald Henderson
