Journeying through any country's winegrowing regions is an immersion in its history, culture, flavors, and colors. Traveling in Latin America means living according to slower rhythms while reconnecting to nature in vast spaces, majestic and wild. It means feeling tiny standing at the foot of the Andes and fragile before the power of the tides of the oceans; feeling lost in the middle of the Amazon rainforest and alone in the heart of the Atacama Desert. It means being hypnotized by the cold blast sweeping down off the Perito Moreno Glacier and astounded by the splendor of Iguazú Falls. Surrounded by landscapes that seem to stretch away to boundless horizons, contemplation here is a daily ritual, whether gazing at a sunset or at the night sky spangled with stars. These are just a few experiences that linger in the memory to weave a broad and nuanced tapestry.

The latest volume in the series, Wine & Travel: Latin America traces a meandering route, beginning in Mexico, passing through Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay before ending in Brazil. Around the continents, one encounters a poetic fusion of cultures, abundantly on display in the architecture, food, wines, and aromas in each country. Wine expert Enrico Bernardo details Latin America's unique winegrowing regions, from the breathtaking heights of the Andes to the desolate Patagonian steppe to the powerful tides of the coastlines, introducing readers to wine producers strong in their ancestral knowledge, generous in their welcome, and determined to protect and express the identity of their terroirs.
