You step out of a mid-size SUV onto a trailhead above ordered rows of vines; the air here smells of sun-warmed grass, crushed oak leaf, and faint fermenting fruit. The guide checks boots and maps, then leads a steady climb through shaded redwood pockets and open oak hills where the valley drops away to ribbon-like vineyards.
