You step onto Front Street as morning light warms the low hills and the scent of fresh pastries drifts from a corner café. The tour van hums to life, and soon you’re climbing out of Old Town toward vineyards that slope like green pages across the valley. The route moves deliberately—sunlit terraces, stone-lined winery buildings, and a cool cave carved into the hillside at Oak Mountain.
