agree  Colin Rowe: Sounds like a good solution

neutral  kashew: Does it go with "plus gourmandes" just after?
1 hr
disagree  Victoria Britten: This doesn't sound right to me when so much of it is (apparently) given over to wine-tasting rather than food
3 hrs
agree  Celine Reau: it looks like a good solution to me, gastronomy includes wine and food. Usually you can taste some "terroir" products while tasting wine (cheese, pâté, ham)

wine-tasting promenades/drives


Explanation:
gustative could refer to tasting wine or food, but as it's through the "vignobles" I'm guessing that this is just about wine (as opposed to the "séances gourmandes," which I imagine are more sumptuous food & drink affairs.)
balade can be on foot or in a car (or on a bike...), as long as it's a leisurely sort of ramble. Promenade seems like a fun, leisurely expression in keeping with the tone.
