More than anything else, summer on the Vineyard represents a time for renewal, a season when friends and family return to familiar ground and newcomers arrive for first visits. The season of summer on this Island extends to all an invitation to return and to discover the gifts the Vineyard offers to everyone who slows down enough to enjoy the fragile beauty of this special place in the sea.
