[ noun ] (botany) an arbor where grapes are grown
Synonyms Used in print (Helen Hooven Santmyer, "There Were Fences"...)Every path from back door to barn was covered by a grape-arbor , and every yard had its fruit_trees . From above one could only occasionally catch_a_glimpse of life on the floor of this green sea : a neighbor 's gingham skirt flashing into sight for an instant on the path beneath her grape-arbor , or the movement of hands above a clothesline and the flutter of garments hung there , half-way down the block . (Irving Fineman, Woman of Valor: The Life of Henrietta...)For Rachel , conceded to be the prettiest of the Szold girls - and she did make a pretty picture sitting in the grape-arbor strumming her guitar and singing in her silvery tones - there was no particular March counterpart ; but both groups were so closely_knit that despite individual differences the family life in both cases was remarkably similar in atmosphere if not entirely in content - the one being definitely Jewish and the other vaguely Christian .
