Wine & Travel Mediterranean Islands

Discover Assouline's new Wine & Travel series, where the world's most celebrated wineries meet the art of travel. The coffee table book "Wine & Travel Mediterranean Islands" takes you through the iconic winemakers and hidden gems of Mediterranean Islands such as Sardinia, Sicily, Corsica, Majorca and several Greek islands. The travel and wine book offers a curated adventure through Italy's best wine regions, accompanied by renowned sommelier Enrico Bernardo.

The wine culture of the Mediterranean islands is a story of sun, salt and ancient crafts. From the volcanic soil of Sicily to the windswept vineyards of Corsica, from the quartzite and schist cliffs of Porquerolles to the sun-drenched hills of Mallorca, each island has its own specific terroir, shaped by rugged terrain, sea breezes and a special climate that cultivates grapes that produce complex blends. The wines here are powerful but nuanced: mineral Assyrtiko from Greece, floral Malvasia from the Aeolian Islands, spicy reds from the Cannonau vineyards of Sardinia and the elegant Vermentinos of the northern coastlines. But outside the bottle, the experience is just as inspiring: tastings on seaside estates, in olive groves or in the cool atmosphere of ancient cellars carved from stone. Here, wine is not just a product of the land, but an expression of heritage, hospitality and the sun-kissed soul of island life.

Join world-renowned sommelier Enrico Bernardo on the ultimate journey through the Mediterranean Islands, where wine, culture and adventure are intertwined. Wine & Travel Mediterranean Islands is an essential guide to a region of the finest vineyards and hidden beauties. Bernardo uncovers the soul of Mediterranean winemaking, sharing not only the wines that are worthwhile, but also the breathtaking landscapes, the most traditional places and the secret escapes that define island life - a new kind of guide, featuring the best wines of each of the Mediterranean islands and the people, places and vistas.
