Wine & Travel Latin America

Following the success of Assouline’s ‘Wine & Travel’ coffee-table books on France, Italy, and the United States, ‘Wine & Travel: Latin America’ is now available. The book follows a winding route that begins in Mexico, passes through Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay, and ends in Brazil. Throughout the entire region, you’ll encounter a poetic fusion of cultures, richly reflected in the architecture, cuisine, wines, and aromas of each country.

A journey through the wine regions of any country is an immersion in that country’s history, culture, flavors, and colors. Traveling in Latin America means living at a slower pace, while reconnecting with nature in vast, majestic, and untamed landscapes. It means feeling small at the foot of the Andes and vulnerable in the face of the ocean’s tides; feeling lost in the middle of the Amazon rainforest and alone in the heart of the Atacama Desert. It means being enchanted by the cold gust of wind sweeping down from the Perito Moreno Glacier and being awestruck by the splendor of the Iguazú Falls. Surrounded by landscapes that seem to stretch to boundless horizons, reflection here is a daily ritual, whether you’re gazing at a sunset or at the star-studded night sky. These are just a few of the experiences that linger in the memory and, together, weave a rich and nuanced tapestry.

Wine connoisseur Enrico Bernardo describes the unique wine-growing regions of Latin America, from the breathtaking heights of the Andes to the desolate steppes of Patagonia and the powerful tides along the coasts. He introduces readers to winemakers who draw on their ancestral knowledge, are hospitable, and are determined to protect and express the identity of their terroirs.
