When one thinks of Cape Cod, the "arm" that juts out from eastern Massachusetts, visions of lobster and sandy beaches often come to mind. What you may not have considered is that there are grapes growing in that sandy soil on the outermost tip of Cape Cod...and there's a wonderful family making wine (and catching lobsters, but that's another story.)
My summer vacation was spent sipping some of their products, at Truro Vineyards of Cape Cod. Owned and operated by the Roberts family, Truro Vineyards produces award-winning wines and offers daily tastings and tours of the vineyard. Summer guests sample wines under a tent, yards from the grapevines, with fresh sea air drifting by.
Open from April - December, the vineyard is a unique place to visit on Cape Cod. If you can make it to their annual "Grape Stomp", you'll never forget it...visitors are encouraged to take off their shoes, jump into a giant wooden barrel and stomp grapes like they used to do it "in the old country." You can also take home a bottle of wine to drink with your lobster dinner.
