New Architecture of Wine

With well-told stories and stunning photography, author Heather Hebert features the architecture of 25 California wineries in her alluring new book, The New Architecture of Wine.

As wine tourism has increased, California vintners have embraced the call to create splendid spaces where visitors can taste their unique varieties and enjoy conversations about wine. Rather than imitating Old World European estates, making grand architectural statements, or indulging in quirky forays into bohemianism, The New Architecture of Wine showcases a movement that celebrates California’s topography, agricultural heritage, historic architectural vernacular, and forward-thinking passion for sustainability and design.

The 25 wineries featured in The New Architecture of Wine—all built within the last ten years—include buildings designed by top architects Juan Carlos Fernandez and Howard Backen, among others. Together, these wineries form an authentic expression of the winemakers’ passion for the land and its heritage.
