The name "Journeys End" and its assosciation with vineyards has its inception in a little known poem by C.P. Cavafy, simply titled "Ithaka." In this short but powerful work, Cavafy captures the essence of the Journey which life is, in all of its joys and dissappointments - or more exactly, the journey which we make of it. For as Cavafy so correctly points out - all of life's potentials begin within the human heart and their final culmination - the Journeys End - should be a time of celebration and reflection and never despair.
There are many similarites in the 'life' of a vineyard. Each year is a new journey with new expectations and hopes, new learning experiences and challenges. The journey from vine to bottle is a long and often anxious one, the ending of which marks the beginning of a new cycle, a new season. And just as each bottle in itself marks the end of another year, each Journeys End label also reflects a different aspect of that journey - from the careful preparation of new cuttings to the relief felt in picking the last bunch of the harvest and finally, the ecstatic escape to Maslin Beach. We hope that Cavafy's poem "Ithaka" offers you a similar inspiration as it did to us, and you find yourself returning to it often over a bottle of wine.
........................................................................................................................................................................................................................


 



As you set out for Ithaka, 
hope your road is a long one, 
full of adventure, full of discovery. 
Laistrygonians, Cyclops, 
angry Poseidon – don’t be afraid of them: 
you’ll never find things like that on your way 
as long as you keep your thoughts raised high, 
as long as a rare excitement 
stirs your spirit and your body. 
Laistrygonians, Cyclops, 
wild Poseidon – you won’t encounter them  
unless you bring them along inside your soul, 
unless your soul sets them up in front of you. 

Hope your road is a long one.  
May there be many summer mornings when, 
with what pleasure, what joy, 
you enter harbours you are seeing for the first time;  
may you stop at Phoenician trading stations 
to buy fine things, 
mother-of-pearl and coral, amber and ebony, 
sensual perfume of every kind –  
as many sensual perfumes as you can; 
and may you visit many Egyptian cities  
to learn and go on learning from their scholars.

Keep Ithaka always in your mind.  
Arriving there is where you’re destined for. 
But don’t hurry the journey at all. 
Better if it lasts for years, 
so you’re old by the time you reach the island, 
wealthy with all you’ve gained on the way, 
not expecting Ithaka to make you rich. 

Ithaka gave you the marvelous journey. 
Without her you wouldn’t have set out. 
She has nothing left to give you now. 
And if you find her poor, Ithaka won’t have fooled you. 
Wise as you will have become, so full of experience, 
you’ll have understood by then what all these Ithakas mean. 

- C.P. Cavafy
