“And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.”
And they turned and went up into the hill country, and came to the valley of Eshcol, and spied it out -- the valley of Eshcol (bunch of grapes) will become the source of the reconnaissance report. The geographical specificity grounds the narrative in history. The spies' reconnaissance is not wrong in itself; the problem is what the people do with the report.
