We were in Tuscany 2 years ago and toured Badia Coltibouono and Brolio. We loved both along with Casellina, Radda, Impruneta, Greve and Montefioralle. We are going back this year and would like to tour the cellars of a wine estate but would like one with the same feel as Coltibuono. Any ideas of a great winery to tour? cindy

Borgo San Felice has a wonderful winery with loads of history. Another great winery but a relatively new one is Terrabianca. I would advise having your local wine merchant help arrange the tour.
I agree with Dean regarding San Felice. There super tuscan blend Vigorello is very nice and the chiantis they make are also usually very good. In addition, the restaurant there is excellent!

If you want to do a wine tour with someone knowledgeable, contact Chianti Mania in Radda in Chianti. Their e-mail address is: alessandra@chiantimania.com. Web site is: www.chiantiservices.com. Lorenzo Gatteschi does the tours; he also exports wines from small producers to some partners here in the States. Lorenzo will also do Brunello tours.
