Aetolian Vineyard

The Aetolian Vineyard graces the western landscape of Aetolia, Demiarbéz, nestled beside the majestic Monopteros of Holy Peace, a monument erected by the enigmatic philosopher Nicodemus. This medium-sized vineyard is not just a place of cultivation but a testament to unity. Run in partnership between Robot and the city of Aetolia, it stands as a symbol of collaboration and community spirit. The vineyard may not be sprawling, but it holds a special place in the hearts of Aetolia's residents.

At the heart of the Aetolian Vineyard, sweet berries are cultivated with care, a testament to the fine craftsmanship that lies within. Robot, who manages the vineyard, has crafted a unique winemaking process, shrouded in secrecy but known for producing exceptional wines. While Robot is the vineyard's steward, he donated it to the city of Aetolia, reinforcing the notion that the vineyard is a shared treasure. This harmonious blend of tradition and innovation, secrecy and sharing, makes the Aetolian Vineyard a place of intrigue and delight for all who visit.

Background
Among the first things that Nicodemus did when he arrived in the province of Demiarbéz was to establish a vineyard on the top of the western hill of Aetolia. However, Nicodemus dismantled that vineyard to make space for the Monopteros, and moved his vineyard to the north of the city. Nicodemus has largely stopped making wine, but occasionally produces a few bottles to give as gifts to foreign dignitaries. The new vineyard began as a modest initiative, primarily tended by Robot. It was here that Robot discovered the art of winemaking, developing a unique, closely guarded process known only to him. This secret recipe would come to define the vineyard's distinct character.
