Alessandro Vallecchi, marketing director for Allegrini, best known for their big wines Amarone and La Poja, has an alternate life. In that he’s, well, a tour guide — specialising in India travel, bringing groups of European travellers several times a year to Varanasi, and Rajasthan, Delhi and Tamil Nadu and other such places that he says he is “very comfortable with” but which often throw off his fellow travelers.

Are you a fan of Bollywood looking for an interesting (and affordable) holiday in India centred around your favourite film? While interest in Slumdog Millionaire means that people are coming to Dharavi, the slum in Mumbai, on tours almost everyday—even now when the weather is so appalling, there are some other interesting packages launched to take you to the sites of, say, Sholay, the iconic Amitabh-Bachchan-Dharmendra starrer fashioned like a Western, or Rang De Basanti, the Aamir Khan film that truly caught the pulse of a young nation two years ago.

When The Great Kebab Factory (TGKF) opened up at the Radisson, New Delhi, more than a decade ago, it was an instant best-seller. The concept was so simple that you wondered why it hadn’t been executed before – an unlimited buffet of kebabs, no doubt refined from their pop origins but everyone’s favourite finger food nevertheless, served up in air-conditioned comfort (and luxury, because at that time, eating out in a five-star restaurant was undoubtedly that).
