I was interested in reading this book because I thought learning about wine while reading a romance would be almost as good as drinking wine while reading a romance. And it was. I especially enjoyed the scenes in the small town and the villa in Tuscany. Later in the story, Napa Valley and the mountains with views toward the sea were perfect for romantic interludes. Both the mother, Ava, and her daughter, Caterina, are winemakers, but they also have secrets which keep them from having a healthy relationship with each other, and ultimately, with the men they love. This will keep you reading until all the layers have been revealed. The Winemakers is a taste of wine country mixed with romantic intrigue. Read and savor.
