Staying for a week in tuscany, any guidance for Wine tours?

[manasdirge]

Hi all, me and wife is going to spend the last week of June in Tuscany, Italy. We have heard that Tuscan wines are quite good, especially in the Chianti area, we plan to spend a day for wine experience and ship home some nice wines.

question is:

Do we need to get a tour guide for this? or can we do it on our own?(we can both speak English but know very little Italian)

We would love to hear any suggestions on tour route/guide/specific sites, and thanks in advance!
