About the In-Person, Adventure
“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! Join us for our next event in the Reading Between the Vines series, which will take place once again at the estate producer Hook & Ladder Winery, 2134 Olivet Rd, Santa Rosa, in Sonoma County, California, as part of their exciting new Book & Ladder Club!
With the assistance of Melier, we invite you to indulge in a bubbles tasting and book pairing experience, presented under California’s brilliant trademark sunshine. While you sample a delectable glass of Hook & Ladder Winery bubbles and light pastries, meet SoCal-based, New York Times bestselling author Christopher Reich and learn about his latest spy thriller, Matterhorn.
Your Adventure includes a glass of Hook & Ladder bubbles specifically selected to pair with Christopher’s novel, a signed hardcover copy of Matterhorn, fresh pastries, 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.
