Vineyards were a wonderful surprise on our trip. While visiting an apple orchard in Wisconsin, the owner graciously invited us to walk across the road and walk through the vineyards as well. The grapes were heavy on the vines. The aroma was amazing and the visual was beautiful. I have to admit to pulling a full purple grape off the vine and popping it into my mouth. The burst of flavor was incredible and added to the entire experience. I especially liked the sight of the small abandoned bird's nest that had become a home to a couple of fallen grapes. Although I could have lingered for hours we did have other orchards and parks on our agenda that day. Our other vineyard stop was the next day near Bankston, Iowa. It was very nice but we did have the luxury of a private stroll through the vines.
