IN CHIANTI AND TUSCANY
My name is Guido Bandinelli and I live in San Casciano In Val di Pesa a village located in CHIANTI near Florence ( Tuscany - Italy ).
I am a professional sommelier / guide which operates mainly here in Tuscany and my specialization are Wine 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 courses for sommelier too. I am now an active 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 and good food, it renders me the "ideal partner" to discover the charm, the beauty, the flavors and the tastes of Tuscany at its best !
I offer Private and Customized Wine Tours to people 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 expert " the Chianti, the Costa degli Etruschi Wine Trail (Super Tuscans Ornellaia, Sassicaia, Messorio etc.) , Montalcino (Brunello di Montalcino) , Montepulciano ( Vino Nobile di Montepulciano ), or any other area you might wish to discover. Feel free to ask without any obligation for a quote and for any kind of information you might need about my tours.
