Agriturismo in Tuscany

Planning September trip to Italy! 4 nights Rome, 5 nights Tuscany, 3 nights Venice. We are 4 women who enjoy wine, food, the outdoors, unique experiences and exploring quaint towns. 2 of us have been to these destinations, 2 have not. Looking for a great Tuscany experience. Thinking agriturismo with views and room to linger over wine, perhaps cook one night, do our laundry and be within a short drive to towns and wineries to explore. Cooking classes on premises or nearby a plus. Where have you been that you love?

Recommendations for any part of our trip is welcome!
Thank you fellow travelers.

Several years ago we stayed at an agriturismo, La Bruciata, in Montepulciano. We loved it! The owner, Laura, was very friendly, helpful and a great cook! When we were in Montepulciano for a quick stay last year, we stopped by to say hello and ended up returning for dinner that night. They may have a week minimum stay depending on the dates, but you can check with them. Just a quick 5-7 minute drive to the center of town and easy to explore the surrounding area, including a Pienza and Cortona.

We spent a day at Fatttoria Tregole several years ago and it's on our list of places to stay in Chianti. It's a very small winery operated by a mother and daughter. Our lunch on the loggia overlooking the vines and Tuscan hillsides was wonderful. It was a short drive from Siena. https://www.tregole.com/index.php/en/

I stayed at Terre di Nano (https://www.terredinano.com/en/) with my mother and sister and absolutely loved it. We had an enormous suite with a living room and kitchen we never even had time to use; a balcony with an incredible view; and a fantastic breakfast buffet included. The grounds are gorgeous (with lots of farm animals!), and the restaurant serves wonderful dinners. Plus, the location can't be beat. I would return in a heartbeat!

Podere Cunina

This was a beautifully situated Agraturismo with a lovely pool overlooking the valley, convenient to Siena Montalcino. The owners were very wonderful and helpful

Beyond the Chianti and Montepulciano suggestions, Val d'Orcia is worth a look, the area around Pienza, Monticchiello, and Montalcino is classic Tuscany with rolling hills, cypress roads, and gorgeous sunset views. It's quieter but still close to great wine (Brunello) and charming towns. Western Chianti around Castellina or Radda is another good pick, more rural, fewer tour buses, great for wineries and lazy lunches.

For four women traveling together, look for a place with an outdoor terrace for evening wine, at least one on-site dinner option, pool with a view, and laundry access. Also worth knowing, smaller agriturismi don't always advertise cooking classes but will often arrange a private one if you ask directly.

The right area makes all the difference. Sounds like an amazing trip!

Take a look at this address: Corte di Valle.
Set in the heart of Chianti. Peaceful vineyards, authentic Tuscan charm, warm hospitality, and honest farm-to-table flavors — all just a short drive from Florence and Siena.

Sounds like a wonderful idea.
Are any of these lovely stays on a winery doable without a car? Transportation available to close by towns?
