Photo by @migeophoto // The Azores are a series of islands that can be found between New York and Lisbon. On the Isle of Pico, locals use dark black lava rock to build shady labyrinths around the vineyards. I traveled with @Airbnb to document these islands that are slowly becoming a destination for travelers seeking a quiet respite. As Simon Busch writes, "This shouldn’t be wine country – but it is. Not many people can say they built a vineyard from rock but Augusto Silva can. Refusing to be defeated by the unyielding, frozen-lava ground of his farm on the Azores island of Pico, he and his helpers, by cart or on their own backs, gathered soil from more fertile land further from the sea on this volcanic peak rearing above the mid-Atlantic. To protect the grapes from the salt spray whipping in from the shoreline only a few hundred yards away, he crafted a nursery for each vine from the island’s porous black volcanic rock – walls of the kind that create a dramatic latticework right across Pico’s lowlands. Eighty now – he’s been farming on the Azores for 50 years – Augusto pours us a glass of the sweet, strong, amber wine that results from this tender horticulture. The secret to his longevity? “Work!” he says (and possibly wine, judging from the generosity with which he dispenses his homebrew from a battered old plastic bottle)."
