Before you make a dedicated drive
Visitor access is not a tour
A public-facing shop or farm entrance does not prove guided access to production areas.
A tasting flag needs verification
It may mean informal samples, a scheduled event, a paid flight, or an appointment-only format.
Book the base after choosing the region
Use a practical town or city for lodging, then decide which cheese stop justifies the extra driving.
