This full-day excursion includes lunch at one of the award-winning restaurants here in a region that's as famous for its cuisine as its wines. At the end of the day, you'll be taken back to your luxury hotel for a free evening and a chance to dine as you wish. Your guide will be happy to make recommendations. Meals B+L
