Nashik - The Wine Capital of India


Nashik is a holy city in Maharashtra that is celebrated for its abundant production of redolent grapes. The berries thrive in well-drained soil and cool temperatures, and Nashik offers just that. The hilly terrain promotes the perfect sustainable environment, making the city a hub for wineries. Sula, one of the leading wine brands in India, founded its largest vineyard in Nashik in 1999. Established by Rajeev Samant, Sula enabled the city to become a top-tier wine-producing city in India. If you visit the city between January and April, you will be welcomed by the strong scent of grapes that fill the atmosphere.

According to Steven Spurrier, a famous wine taster, the wine produced here scores between 13 to 17 on a 20-grade scale. As they are produced at a high altitude, the taste and quality of the grapes remain succulent and top-notch. Out of 180,000 acres of agricultural land in Nashik, 8,000 acres are dedicated to wine grape cultivation.

Out of the 46 wineries in India, 22 are in Nashik, while the rest are scattered across Hyderabad, Kashmir and other parts of India. Business and leisure travellers come here to explore the many vineyards in Nashik that are home to both red and white grapes.
