A battered Land Rover Defender climbs a narrow country lane, the engine a low companion as rows of Chardonnay fan out downhill. The guide pulls off at a sun-exposed ridge; a bottle is opened, glasses click, and the view—a quilt of vines and stone walls—frames the first tasting. This half-day tour is compact by design: short drives between family domaines, a hill with visible traces of human presence across eras, and a village stop where local character and wine education meet.
