An inspirational guide designed with the globe-trotting wine lover in mind -- vineyards to visit, seasons to go, vintages and organics to drink, and how to get the most out of each wine region.

The adventures featured in this atmospherically illustrated book will fuel the wine lover's imagination with an almost endless array of vineyard visits, must-see sights, and must-do events -- harvest festivals, vineyard picnics, wine-region weekends, tasting tours, and wine-focused restaurants.

Designed to highlight the world's most rewarding wine destinations, this guide spans the spectrum from traditional (a wine luncheon in Bordeaux or touring Portugal's port lodges) to fun and quirky. Some ideas are active -- a cycling tour of the Champagne region or grape stomping in the Italian countryside -- while others are more urban, such as a tour of Vienna's summer wine gardens or Rome's iconic enotecas. Sidebar panels throughout detail what makes each region special and include lists of the top five local wines to seek out.

There is something here for all palates and all levels of expertise -- from regular contributors to #WineWednesdays to the budding oenophile just starting out.

People have always been fascinated by the mountains. They are a source of strength and a symbol of freedom, the perfect setting for an in-depth time-out, for self-discovery, or the sporting challenge. Beyond the hustle and bustle of everyday life, the beauty of nature offers inspiration and relaxation.

In the setting of the Alps, this volume presents wonderful new accommodations with powerful design ideas that have been consistently applied. The architecture enters into a dialog with the mountains and appears sometimes archaically rough, wooden and close to nature, or also with contrasting shapes and materials. Despite the many different concepts, the presented projects are always distinguished by their high-quality design, their uniqueness, and their individuality.

Since the Euromaidan, Kyiv has been the place where Europe‘s future is decided between East and West. Meanwhile, the hybrid war in eastern Ukraine and on the Crimean peninsula has escalated into an open Russian war of aggression.

The Kyiv Architectural Guide presents over 100 buildings worth seeing from 100 years of the city‘s history, compiled by Ukrainian architectural historian Semen Shyrochyn.

In over 300 pages, this architectural guide proves that Kyiv is much more than the capital of Ukraine. Kyiv is an inseparable part of the European community of nations, where mutual respect of values counts more than the power of the strongest.
