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 / wine-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 to become 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 also wish to point out that I am 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 !  

I offer  Private  and  Customized Wine  Tours to people which are spending their holidays here in Tuscany  and also to people on cruise  in the Mediterranean sea, and that are docking at the Port of Livorno and that are wishing to discover together with a passionate and knowledgeable  " wine-guide " the Chianti appellations (Chianti Classico and Chianti), Bolgheri (Super tuscans Ornellaia, Sassicaia, Messorio etc.) , Montalcino (Brunello di Montalcino) , Montepulciano ( Vino Nobile di Montepulciano ), or any other wine-area you might be interested in.

Feel free to ask without any obligation for a quote and for any kind of information you might need about my tours.
