Overview

The luscious vineyards and sun-soaked earth of Sonoma and Napa Valleys beg for an architecture worthy of this rich setting. Wine country style has been born form this fertile area of the world-an elegant, sometimes rustic, often sophisticated style that translates to homes worldwide and speaks of class, beauty, and richness infused with Tuscan, French, and Mediterranean design.

In Wine Country: Architecture and Interiors, designer Mary Whitesides has paired with architecture Howard Backen to bring you eighteen homes from the wine country region. Two hundred stunning full-color photographs bring to life the details of this style-from the use of stone and rich wood to sweeping staircases, columns, high ceilings, outdoor rooms, and the incorporation of artifacts and fine art.

Showcasing the work of some of the country's finest architects, Wine Country will open your home and sensibilities to the beauty and allure of one of California's richest heritages.
