Morning light spills across low vines and the shuttle eases onto a back road—rows of grapes march toward oak-studded hills, and a guide passes around bottles of water and local stories. The seven-hour tour threads between three small, family-style wineries on quieter parcels of the Valley; tasting rooms open to terraces, and one stop becomes a shaded picnic where you sit among vines and eat with a view.
