About the In-Person Event
“Language is wine upon the lips” – Virginia Woolf
Virginia Woolf made the connection between language and wine, so we wanted to take a page from her and create an entire Adventures by the Book series devoted to the pairing of wine and books. Voila! Introducing our new Reading Between the Vines series to take place at the estate producer Hook & Ladder Winery, 2134 Olivet Rd, Santa Rosa, in Sonoma County, California!
With the assistance of Melier, indulge in a leisurely morning filled with a sumptuous wine tasting and book pairing experience, presented under California’s brilliant trademark sunshine. While you sample some of the delectable wines that Hook & Ladder Winery is known for, meet New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Cara Black and learn about her most recent novel, Murder at La Villette.
Your Adventure includes a glass of Hook & Ladder sparkling wine specifically selected to pair with Cara’s book, pastries, a signed hardcover copy of Murder at La Villette, author presentation, Q&A, book signing, and the opportunity to meet the author in a relaxed and intimate setting at the beautiful Hook & Ladder Winery property.
