The morning air on Kefalonia tastes faintly of sea and olive oil as the minivan turns off the coastal road and climbs toward the slopes of Mt Ainos. Vineyards open like pages, rows of low-trained vines leaning into the wind; the island itself seems to watch as you move through its cultivated ribs. You begin at a family-run boutique winery where grape skins and oak barrels tell a recent but proud story of revival.
