We were in Lucca in September and the city had a whole "local wine makers" tasting and display out in Piazza San Michele so there are a lot of wine (and olive oil) producers but it is not such a big draw as it is in southern Tuscany.
Paola Moschini is an amazing, energetic Lucca tour guide and I while can't recommend her enough I don't believe she does any kind of transportation trips. But you could reach out to her and if she recommends someone I would trust her completely.

Before I knew Paola I took a walking tour with this local company and the guide was very knowledgable. They arrange driving tours either Lucca or meeting cruise ships in Livorno. I can't specifically recommend their driving/transport tours but they have been around for years and might be worth looking into.

The wine bar Enoteca Vanni in Piazza San Salvatore (aka Piazza Pupporona) is an excellent stop. The cellar of the wine store next door is mind blowing if you can get an invitation to explore it.
Enjoy Lucca,
