We go off-road and onto the trails and tracks through the vines. Along the way we discover the viticulture of the area, learn about grape varieties and the difference between organic, biodynamic and natural wines.
We stop off at some of the best wineries, meet the winemakers and taste the wines. There is even an opportunity to buy the wines at cellar door prices.
Ready for lunch and we simply pull over and set up our legendary vineyard picnic in the vines, a cork screw always on hand to open a chilled bottle of Saumur Blanc or Saumur Champigny.
The Landrover Defender 4x4 Wine Adventure incorporates a 1 day off road wine tour, vineyard picnic with tastings at selected wineries en-route.
