One pastoral gem that you simply can’t miss is Russell Orchards. Only about 5 minutes from Crane Beach, you’ll see a wood shaked barn to your right and once inside, it’s apparent that this is the real deal…not some knock off built within the last decade to look like an antique barn. The post and beam frame is clearly hand hewn and the wooden floor boards are smoothed like only years of hard use can produce. Best of all, it’s still a working farm after opening their doors in 1920.<br /><br />Here you can get all the fixins for a grand picnic. The shelves are lined with organic snacks, the coolers with seasonal fruit. Cheeses and locally baked breads abound. Cider donuts made fresh daily onsite along with their hard cider are classics. The crown jewel is their killer fruit wines, especially the strawberry rubarb…which is really like picking them from the garden and bottling their essence…seriously! Tangy fresh picked berries and the just picked tang of rubbarb, this wine doesn’t make any apologies. A delicate floral aroma comes to a head as it hits the palate. Strong fresh strawberries…serve chilled. Can certainly be a dessert wine with big fruit sugar on the tip and progressively complex strawberry on the palate. Full bore flavor with no fuss. Grab out of the frig. and toss into your picnic basket…and yes it’s OK to drink it out of plastic cups.<br /></p></div>More Than 50 Years After 'Jaws', Martha's Vineyard Is Still Quite a Catchhttps://tripatini.com/profiles/blogs/marthas-vineyard-massachusetts-attractions-jaws2020-05-28T02:30:00.000Z2020-05-28T02:30:00.000ZIberia Airlineshttps://tripatini.com/members/IberiaAirlines<div><h6 class="aligncenter"><em><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}11018480481,RESIZE_930x{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-center" src="{{#staticFileLink}}11018480481,RESIZE_930x{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="11018480481?profile=RESIZE_930x" width="750" /></a><a href="https://www.shutterstock.com/es/image-photo/edgartown-harbour-142947256?src=NpiBm_d-mI7OZvdwpRBV0A-1-28" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:8pt;">Vidu Gunaratna</span></a></em></h6><p><span style="font-size:8pt;"><strong><em>by Marita Acosta</em></strong></span></p><p><br />Some time ago I happened to run across that toothy old classic <strong><em>Jaws</em></strong> online, and as I watched, the impossibly picturesque maritime settings and endless beaches awakened in me a nostalgia for the light, colours, sounds, and tastes of summertime holidays. It was then I discovered that the film's fictional <strong>Amity Island</strong> is actually ritzy <strong>Martha's Vineyard</strong>, <strong>Massachusetts</strong>, a 45-minute to hourlong ferry ride from <strong>Cape Cod</strong>.<br /> <br /> <br /> Come summer, one of the <strong>USA</strong>'s most exclusive (and expensive) holiday destinations regularly appears in the tabloids and other media thanks to plenty of literary and entertainment celebrities, as well as high-level politicians such as <strong>Barack Obama</strong> and <strong>Bill</strong> and <strong>Hillary Clinton</strong>.</p><p>And a good deal of its charm is the same that attracted director <strong>Steven Spielberg</strong> to this 227-square-kilometre (87-sq.-mile) island all those years ago. Several prime examples:</p><p style="text-align:justify;padding-left:30px;"><strong>Edgartown</strong>, the Vineyard's largest settlement, whose docks appear several times in <em>Jaws</em>. Just outside town is <strong>South Beach State Park</strong>, where the opening sequence was shot - friends who make a bonfire on the beach at night and a girl takes a dip, making her the first victim gobbled up by the titular great white shark. And by the way, Edgartown's <strong>Independence Day</strong> parade is a slice of pure Americana!</p><p style="text-align:justify;padding-left:30px;">In <strong>Vineyard Haven</strong> (aka <strong>Tisbury</strong>), the island's main port, the house of the fiction police chief <strong>Brody</strong> can be found at 267 East Chop Drive. It's also home to some quaint pubs worth a visit, like the <strong>Black Dog Tavern</strong> (20 Beach Street Extension).</p><p style="text-align:justify;padding-left:30px;"><strong>Joseph A Sylvya State Beach</strong> in the town of <strong>Oak Bluff</strong> is where some of the movie's most famous scenes were filmed - terrified pandemonium following the shark attack on <strong>Alex Kintner</strong>? This utterly charming beach town has preserved its gingerbread houses dating back to the 19th-century days when whaling was its residents' main occupation. And check out the vintage "<strong>Flying Horses</strong>" carousel!</p><p> </p><h6 class="aligncenter" style="text-align:justify;"><em><a href="https://www.shutterstock.com/es/image-photo/gay-head-lighthouse-referred-aquinnah-lies-134412977?src=fJRW1VdFvOkfvA5DdpikXw-1-7" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:8pt;">Allan Wood Photography</span></a></em></h6><p><br /> As a lighthouses buff, I particularly love the ones here on the Vineyard. <strong>Gay Head Light</strong> (built 1799) in the town of <strong>Aquinnah</strong> also makes a handful of appearances in the movie, and a stroll across the imposing nearby cliffs is a lovely experience (First Lady Jackie Kennedy loved the area so much, she had a house built here).</p><p style="text-align:justify;">From the mainland, you can get out here by air as well as ferry; it's a 45-minute flight from Boston. But the classic option is one of the ferries that leave from towns including <strong>Woods Hole</strong> (which also appears briefly in <em>Jaws</em>), <strong>Falmouth</strong>, <strong>New Bedford</strong>, and <strong>Hyannis</strong>. You can bring a car over if you like (from Hyannis), but keep in mind that getting around the Vineyard is quite manageable with a mix of walking, biking, scooters, taxis, and buses.</p><p><br /> For families, film buffs, beach bunnies, Americana aficionados - or any combination of the above - the Vineyard is a real summertime treat.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"><br /> More information: <a href="http://www.mvy.com/" target="_blank">MVY.com</a>, <a href="http://mvol.com/visiting-mv/" target="_blank">MVOL.com</a>.</p><p><br /> <br /> </p></div>
