Vineyard Lifestyle: The Cocktail Party

Sunsets, expansive lawns, and water views. Add the clink of ice in your glass and the melodic rise and fall of old friends’ laughter, and you have a Vineyard cocktail party. Lobster puffs and crostini with island basil and tomatoes make their rounds and the breeze cools your shoulders, warm and blushed from a day in the sun, on the boat or at the beach.

Night settles in, pulling you into lounges surrounding fireplaces lit as much for their dancing flames as for their aromatic scent. The music winds down, appetites rise and intimately gathered friends begin to move in small groups into town and towards tonight’s restaurant of choice.
