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 an afternoon filled with sumptuous wine tastings, fascinating books, and mini-bites, all presented under California’s brilliant trademark sunshine. While you sample some of the delectable wines that Hook & Ladder Winery is known for, meet USA Today bestselling author Susan Meissner and learn about her novel Only the Beautiful. Books are available for preorder below to be delivered and signed at the event.
