A book for those who travel with their tastebuds. In this unique and evocative blend of food, drink and travel writing, Victoria Brzezinski and Bert Blaize give winemakers the floor to take us on a journey around the landscapes, cultures, cuisines and, of course, wines, that they know and love better than anyone.

Where there's good wine, there's almost always a rich history, beautiful landscape, great food and intriguing characters who can give you the insider tips - from the daughters reclaiming lands from former Soviet states to rockstars-turned-winemakers, the people behind the glass make for fascinating reading.

This is the book for anyone who travels with their tastebuds, covering winemaking regions in 20 countries across the world, from 200-year-old vines growing up peppercorn trees in Bolivia, to the fertile glacial soils of New York state. Each of the winemakers share their insider tips for the best spots to eat and drink.

Join Victoria Brzezinski and Bert Blaize as they journey from America to Armenia, Portugal to Poland, discovering great glasses of wine and the fascinating stories behind them.

Chapters feature: Armenia, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bolivia, Canada, England, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Poland, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, USA, Wales and a Nomadic winemaker.
