We will be in Tuscany for four days in June 2020 with a car (and a designated driver). I would like to create a winery tour of beautiful wineries with quality wines. Any suggestions are appreciated!

We went to three wineries while staying in Tuscany this summer.
The best: Our Agriturismo made us an appointment at Uccelliera in early Sep. https://www.uccelliera-montalcino.it/index-en.php
11 wines in about 60-90 minutes, including three from the large wooden barrels. 15 Euro. It was us and one other couple. Wine host was an executive of the winery. Great experience. Included their olive oil with bread toward the end of the tasting.
The last stretch of the road to the winery is down a short gravel road. If using a navigator to drive there, best to download an off-line map as the coverage is spotty.

Hi J,
I would highly recommend Mormoraia in San Gimignano. We stayed there for a few nights in 2017. We didn't do the wine tour but had their wine each night for dinner. It is a beautiful winery!

I second Castello di Verrazzano. We spent 10 days in Tuscany using them as our base. The food and wine was amazing and they were wonderful hosts.
