Winery Design
Nestled by rows of luscious grapevines, wineries evoke images of fine living few other places can rival. The spirit of each winery is as distinctive as the wines it produces. With a multitude of unique design touches, each one creates a sense of place, and a charming invitation to slow down and savor a way of life deeply rooted in growing cycles and the seasons. This lavishly illustrated compendium showcases the new wave of winery buildings. This school of design takes its lead from architect Herzog de Meuron's 1997 design for Dominus Winery, setting a trend away from the rustic and embracing the sleekest contemporary ethos. Since then leading wineries have commissioned chic tasting rooms and spectacular facilities by architectural luminaries such as Santiago Calatrava, Rafael Moneo, Zaha Hadid, Frank O. Gehry and Norman Foster.
Customer Review: Wrong selection
I am planing on building a small winery to compliment my 7 acre vinifera vineyard. The wineries that were depicted in the "Winery Design" book which I purchased was just a compilation of "show case" wineries around the world, showing pretty pictures but no design concepts with regard to constructing a small botique winery. In 5 minutes I was done looking at the pictures and gave the book away.
