Do I understand your situation correctly?:
You have a wired LAN and a WLAN. Both in separate networks, but at the same location?
Then the simplest solution would be to operate only one network that is accessible from both LAN and WLAN.
If, for various reasons, you want to keep two separate networks, routing between the two networks (possibly combined with a firewall that filters according to a set of rules) should be preferred to the VPN variant.
There are corresponding plug-ins for many routers, which then ensure that broadcast and multicast traffic can also take place between the networks.
With OPNsense, for example, there is the "mdns-repeater" and the "udpbroadcastrelay", which also enables UPnP traffic between two separate networks.
With the right configuration, this should also work via VPN connection to other locations.
