BRAND NEW: Adventurous Wine Architecture

"Adventurous Wine Architecture" with text by Michael Webb

Some of the world’s best architects are reshaping the winery as a bold contemporary expression of innovation and tradition, agriculture and technology, production and hospitality. In this survey of the most significant new and recent work, architectural writer Michael Webb explains how these buildings serve producers and consumers, from harvesting to tasting, and give enlightened wine makers an edge in a fiercely competitive market. Photographer Erhard Pfeiffer contributes stunning images, taken especially for this book, of vineyard and cellars, tank rooms and tasting rooms, rooting each winery in its landscape.

Featured architects include Santiago Calatrava, Norman Foster, Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Herzog & de Meuron, Steven Holl, Rafael Moneo, Glenn Mucutt, Renzo Piano, and Richard Rogers. These and other creative talents have designed wineries and visitors’ centres in California and Canada; Spain, Italy and Austria; Chile and Argentina; Australia and New Zealand. Their clients include descendants of centuries-old family firms and ambitious entrepreneurs, all fired by a passion to excel.

Thirty-one wineries are grouped into four thematic sections – Expressive Forms, Out of the Earth, Monumental Presence, and Rural Vernacular – that demonstrate their diversity. Visionary schemes, now in design or development, are briefly summarized. Each offers a new perspective on an age-old craft, and a response to the venerable chateux of an earlier time. They are also seeking to reach out to the public and nearly all these new wineries are open to casual callers or by appointment, for tours and tastings. A few also offer luxurious accommodation and superlative cuisine, important art collections and educational programs. All will be pleased to provide expert advice and sell you a bottle or a case you may not find elsewhere.

Adventurous Wine Architecture will enlighten and inspire the dedicated oenophile and the casual wine lover, and will transport you to some of the most idyllic places on earth.
