Tuscany Agritourism Recommendation

We are spending a week in the Montalcino and Montepulciano area this year in late October. Our hope is to stay at 1 or 2 agritourism farm B&Bs in the area. We would appreciate any recommendations on which ones provide a memorable experience. Thanks for your help. Vic

Last April our family of 4 stayed at Bonellino Vecchio, which is just outside of Pienza. Great location for visiting both Montalcino and Montepulciano, not to mention Pienza. The Accommodations were spotlessly clean, the hosts were wonderful, and the view from each rooms patios were to die for.

In September 2019, we stayed at Tenuta Santo Pietro (https://tenutasantopietro.com/), just outside Pienza, for four nights. The hosts were very welcoming. The location was great with lovely views. Our room was comfortable and clean. The agriturismo serves a delicious breakfast with fresh ingredients and also has a restaurant where they serve dinner. We had dinner there every night during our stay. It was so nice to come "home" after a busy day and relax with a glass of wine and delicious dinner.

Our favorite location in Tuscany is Peinza. The views are amazing! We have stayed at Agriturismo Cretaiole and Agriturismo Podere San Gregorio. Very reasonable prices. Montalcino and Montepulciano are not too far.

https://www.theisabellaexperience.com/cretaiole-tuscany/ - This one has more organized group activities

https://www.poderesangregorio.it/it/ - No group activities, although we and another couple from Amsterdam were invited to dinner with the owner one evening. The owner doesn't speak English, but he loves to communicate with his guests using Google translate
He also brought us fresh eggs, and the kitchen was well stocked with coffee, salad items, fruit, etc. A small grocery store is just about 5 minute walk away.

Thanks for the great suggestions. We are checking for availability with the owners. These all look like great places to spend our time. Again, thanks for the replies.
