Test it to Taste it. Review on Sula Wines

Sula Vineyards in Nasik is perhaps India's most popular and most accessible winery. From humble beginnings in 1997, Sula Vineyards has admirably developed into a world class winery. The winery is open to visitors, who can enjoy a tour, tastings, courses, and fun events. It's a pleasant surprise to find a winery of this standard in India, and it's obvious that a great deal of inspiration has gone into creating it.

Sula Vineyards winery is located on the outskirts of Nasik, around four hours northeast of Mumbai, in the state of Maharastra. For wine lovers, Sula Vineyards makes an enjoyable side trip from Mumbai. It's easily reached by frequent Indian Railways train services, buses, or even by taxi.

The winery is set on a 35 acre vineyard. For the amount of wine that Sula produces, the property wasn't as large as I expected it to be. However, that's because Sula has an additional few hundred acres of vineyards spread elsewhere in the region.

Sula Vineyards has much to offer visitors. Its very ambient tasting room has been architecturally designed, with a balcony affording expansive views over the vineyard. The wine bottle lights suspended from the ceiling are a unique touch and emit a warm glow.

The tasting room is open from 11.00 a.m to 10.00 p.m. Sunday to Thursday, and 11.00 a.m to 11.00 p.m Friday and Saturday. This makes it a wonderful place to watch the sunset and spend the evening. For added entertainment, there's a pool table and lounge bar as well.
