💡 Good to know for this plan

~12.3 hours of daylight in September.
Longer daylight suits all three public heritage circuits. Harvest and event traffic can tighten parking; cellar visits and tastings require separate current reservations.
Light days: day 1, day 2 have one stop and time left over. Local tours and day trips are the way to fill them — each day links to what is bookable in its own town.
