WINE TASTING AND GASTRONOMIC TOURS IN CHIANTI AND AROUND
My name is Guido Bandinelli and I leave in San Casciano in Val di Pesa in the Chianti area near Florence ( Tuscany - Italy ).
I am a guide & driver which operates mainly here in Tuscany and my specialization are the Wine and Country Tours.
I have attended the " Istituto Alberghiero A. Saffi " (a professional high school for catering and hotel management – 5 years) based in Florence and in the same period I have attended some courses for sommelier too. I am now a member of A.I.S. (associazione Italiana Sommeliers) of SLOW FOOD and AIWF (The American Institute of Wine & Food ). Last but not least I am a native of Chianti and many of the places to which I have access to are not open to the general public and are off the beaten tracks of tourists! All this matched with a great passion for good wines & good food it renders me the "ideal partner" to discover the charm, the beauty, the flavors and the tastes of Tuscany at their best !
I offer " Wine - Gastronomy and Countryside Tours " to persons which are spending their holidays here in Tuscany and to people on cruise in the Mediterranean sea that will be docking at the port of Livorno and which are whishing to discover together with a passionate and knowledgeable " wine – lover " the Chianti, the Costa degli Etruschi Wine Trail (Super Tuscans Ornellaia, Sassicaia etc.) , Montalcino (Brunello di Montalcino) , Montepulciano ( Vino Nobile di Montepulciano ) etc.
