Sula Vineyards

Home to a dense cover of grape plantations sprawling across 160 acres, Sula Vineyards is Nashik’s first commercial winery, and is a favoured weekend escape from India’s financial capital—Mumbai. Amidst the lush coverlets of the grape-vines lies an intimate tasting room where you can sample a wide range of red, white, rose, sparkling and dessert wines produced by the brand. The guide here will also lead you through the proper steps of identifying, sniffing, and sipping wines. The carnival-like Sulafest wine festival organised by Sula Vineyards each February ranks as one of the most vibrant festivals of the country, housing an eclectic mix of tattoo stalls, fast-food shelters, tarot card reading tents, quirky craft shops and of course wine-tasting counters. If winery-hopping is in your list of retreats this season, then earmark a day aside just for Sula.
