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, we invite you to indulge in a sumptuous bubble tasting and book pairing experience, presented under California’s brilliant trademark sunshine. Enjoy a light brunch of pastries and Hook & Ladder bubbles, meet internationally-renowned musician Zoro the Drummer and learn about his new memoir, Maria’s Scarf: A Memoir of a Mother’s Love, a Son’s Perseverance, and Dreaming Big.
Your Adventure includes a glass of Hook & Ladder bubbles specifically selected to pair with Zoro’s book, 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. Special wine and book pairing packages are available at the event for purchase and signing.
