Wine Dogs Australia 6
I love a sunburnt country – from endless sandy beaches to towering eucalypt forests, the land down under is like nowhere else ... and home to some of the world’s great wine estates. And wherever good wine is made, you’re likely to find a dog scouting the winery or vineyard.
This sixth edition of Wine Dogs Australia features over 150 wineries with captivating portraits of their loyal pooches. Meet the canine celebrities of the Australian wine industry, including the Porepunkah horse whisperer, the Hunter Valley cavador who’s mad for mud and the four-legged Tassie wedding crasher who loves a party.
Wine Dogs Australia 6 is a photographic journal – created all for the love of dogs and wine.
'Wine Dogs is the perfect antidote for those who are at risk of taking wine too seriously – which is most of us.' – Huon Hooke, The Sydney Morning Herald
'It’s a delightful book, simple but ingenious in concept and content.' – Mike Jaensch, WineState Magazine
