What to expect
Your guide meets you in the morning and drives you in an air-conditioned vehicle to the first vineyard. Expect moderate walking—typically one to two hours split across the day—through rows of vines whilst your guide explains terroir and harvest methods. You'll descend into cellars where temperature and humidity have aged wines for decades; the stone walls and wooden barrels tell their own story. Mid-afternoon, you'll eat a prepared picnic at a winery's dining room, with three glasses of local wine chosen to match the food. The pace is unhurried; this isn't a sprint between ten stops but a deep look at two or three properties.
