## Definition: ##

A vineyard is a large garden area where grapevines are grown and grapes are cultivated.

 * A vineyard often has a wall around it to protect the fruit from thieves and animals.
 * God compared the people of Israel to a vineyard that did not bear good fruit. (See: [Metaphor](en/ta-vol1/translate/man/figs-metaphor))
 * Vineyard could be also translated as "grapevine garden" or "grape plantation."
