Barbara

Tuscany, Italy

Sommelier, I studied 1 year in the Institute of the Master of Wine London. I organize cooking courses, wine courses, wine tours, weddings & events in Tuscany. I am also a teacher for both wine and cooking course in a school in Florence. I apologise if my english is not always perfect, but beeing bilingual (English and Italian speaking) you really never know any of the 2 perfectly. Visit our website at www.chiantievents.com

Interests: I love cooking. I enjoy good wine. I love to experiment new dishes using my boyfriend and brother as guinea pigs. I adore animals and have 2 dogs, Nabu and Polly. I love movies, I live in wonderland., especially cartoons. my favourite is lilo & stitch. I am a bit like Alice
