1.0 out of 5 stars
This is only a paid advertisement - nothing more,
By Mad as H___ (NEW YORK, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Italian Wine Guide: Where to Go and What to See, Drink, and Eat (Dolce Vita) (Paperback)
I collect Italian wine and at first glance thought this book would be perfect to plan a trip to the Italian wine regions. Then I tried to find the top 20 Italian wineries - not one is listed. Nonetheless, all the reviews were just glowing - all the wines were great, all the hotels were perfect, etc., etc. Then I read the statement (I paraphrase): "All members of the National Association for Wine Tourism as of XX date are listed in this book." Hey, that's advertisement - no one should be tricked into paying money for that. If I'm buying a book, I want - and expect! - the views of an independent writer.

Worst travel book I have ever purchased,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Italian Wine Guide: Where to Go and What to See, Drink, and Eat (Dolce Vita) (Paperback)
This book looks great but is actually just a listing of hotels and wineries that belong to a trade association. I looked for the names of 10 wineries and 5 top restaurants that my wine merchant told me to visit. Not one of them is listed. The ones that are listed are very small and most of them don't even export their wines to the US. No thanks!!

By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Italian Wine Guide: Where to Go and What to See, Drink, and Eat (Dolce Vita) (Paperback)
The Italian Wine Guide is a delightful travel guide to the various regional wines and 325 wineries of Italy. Virtually every page of this comprehensive and detailed reference features colorful photographs, maps, lists of amazing facts, and much more. Enhanced with 167 maps and 99 detailed itineraries (complete with lodgings and restaurants), The Italian Wine Guide is a truly great reference for wine connoisseurs traveling abroad in the Italian landscape ranging from Tuscany and Florence, to Milan, Naples and Venice, as well as the armchair traveler who truly loves learning about good wines and the places from which they come!
