Lowland Vineyard with a view of the Temple of Hera

eikona_post

This is a lowland vineyard growing Samos muscat grapes, owned by a vine-grower member of the Cooperative. Access is easy, whether by car or on foot, as it is 10 minutes from the main road to the Heraion. The dirt trail leading there crosses cultivated fields. The vineyard entrance is gated to protect from wild pigs that would destroy the production. The view from this vineyard, either early in the morning or in the late afternoon, is idyllic, as in the distance you can make out the southern slopes of Mt Ampelos and the unique standing “column” of the Hekatompedon Temple of Hera, which was built on Samos 100 years before the Parthenon in Athens.
