Books & Wine is a seasonal sensory journey through artbooks and exceptional wines.
Hosted by book photographer and all-rounded creative alchemist Justina Nekrašaitė, with a wine expert's guidance at every event.
Curated moments for the curious palate, in Amsterdam.

Our Philosophy

An afternoon of rare pairings and refined pleasures.
We believe books are meant to be felt - through paper, imagery, and now, the resonance of taste.

In these intimate events, we bring together two worlds: the art book and the carefully chosen wine. Each event is carefuly curated by book photographer Justina Nekrašaitė and wine specialist Dieuwke Engelsma, inviting you on a sensorial journey through five remarkable publications.

Each book is presented in depth - from concept to authorship, from theme to printing technique, and paired with exceptional wines selected not only for their palette, but for the atmosphere they mirror.

Held in a quietly elegant setting, this is a rare moment of stillness and connection in the city. A space to learn, to savour, and to be moved.

Sessions are intimate. Only 12 seats per event.
Each one is seasonal, one-of-a-kind, and never repeated.

The Books

We collaborate with carefully selected publishers and artists who believe in books as art forms.
Each event features a new theme and titles. From poetic monographs to experimental archives.

Each title is presented with care: from the author’s intent to the design concept, from the paper options to the printing techniques.
An experience for curious souls who find beauty in the details.

Featuring titles from leading Dutch art book publishers such as Eriskay Connection, Fw:Books, Jap Sam Books and others who treat the book as an art form.
