Wine by Design

Over the past decade a transformation has been underway in the world of wine, as wineries have become just as much places to visit as sites of wine production. In order to showcase their domains and attract and accommodate visitors on winery tours, wineries have engaged renowned architects to extend existing wineries as well as build new ones. This has led to arresting spaces being produced for wine in a whole plethora of styles. Wine by Design highlights some of the most exciting new wineries and spaces for wine, including those by such acclaimed architects as Frank Gehry, Herzog & de Meuron and Santiago Calatrava.

This new edition of Wine by Design adds a further nine wineries to those in the original book, so that it now features a total of almost 40 wineries from around the world. New projects are drawn from Austria, Canada, Italy, Portugal, Spain and the USA and are by such well–known architects as Alvaro Siza and Renzo Piano. The introduction has been revised to cover recent developments in wine tourism, such as winery spas and celebrity wineries, and the expanding market for wine in China. An accessible and engaging text is complemented by stunning photography plans and key information about the grapes, special vintages, winery design, location and opening hours. The book also emphasises how compelling design is making headway in the wine retail and wine bar sectors and in other leisure and hospitality spaces for the appreciation and consumption of wine.
