A low-slung 1972 VW camper hums along the Pacific Coast Highway, salt air pressing through the open windows while the Santa Monica Mountains lean down toward the sea. Riders settle into vinyl seats as the van traces the coastline—sweeping ocean views on one side, sun-baked cliffs on the other—before pausing at a small vineyard tucked into a canyon slope.
