This is your chance to be an oenophile just for a day where you get to explore the vineyards of Nashik and savour a relaxed meal in a picturesque location

Nashik’s vineyards
As the country opens up and people look for new ways to get away from their lockdown blues, Nashik’s vineyards make for a fun, engaging escape, especially if understanding the art and science of wines are your thing. “The idea is to introduce people into the culture of wine-making and the many processes that go with it. We visit all the important venues known for wine produce in Nashik and provide for a day well spent,” says guide Stefanie Pinto, of tour organisers, Trikon. The tour takes attendees to Sula, Soma and York Winery where people can taste of the wine options that are on offer.
Participants can enjoy various locations within these vineyards along with Pinto as they explore the various aspects of wine making. “Stomping is a main attraction at this tour but it is completely based on availability. It is dependent on the season and the stomped grapes are largely used as fertiliser for the fields rather than as an ingredient in wine-making. This is a distinct feature of Indian wines as others tend to use the stomped grapes as part of the process,” she reveals.
