Vineyards : Photographs by Fred Lyon

As a budding photographer and oenophile in the 1940s, Fred Lyon surveyed the wine photography of the day and thought, “I can do better than that!” What followed was a seven-decade adventure that took him to the world’s great wine regions. Lyon’s keen eye illuminates moments both grand and intimate that define the world of winemaking: families turning out for the harvest, a horse pulling a sled of freshly picked grapes, a midmorning workers’ break to enjoy bread and cheese. Vineyards is a delightful gift for wine lovers, foodies, and armchair travelers.
