You can tell a lot about people by their coffee table book selections. Are they naturalists? Are they passionate about photography? Impressionism? Almost every home has a book about architecture. These are all worthy subject matters to peruse as you sip a glass of wine when at a friend’s home. But we’ve found the perfect coffee table book for the art & architecture enthusiast who is also a wine-lover.

Adventurous Wine Architecture (Michael Webb, Images Publishing) is a book that takes you on a tour of the most innovative and dramatic wineries around the globe. With blue prints and floor plans to match the beautiful photography, you’ll become acutely aware that wineries can be both utilitarian and “bastions of modern architecture” amid “breathtaking surroundings.”¹

Some of the world’s most iconic architects like Renzo Piano and Frank Gehry are trying their hand at winery design, so you’re in for a treat when you see what they've come up with.

Get your copy today or put it on your list for that wine-loving friend. It’s a perfect gift for your Thanksgiving hosts…or for your friends and colleagues, if you’ve jump-started your holiday shopping!
