Sula Vineyards – India’s Wine Pioneer
Where Indian wine culture really began.
If Nashik is India’s wine king, then Sula Vineyards is its crown jewel. Founded in 1999 by Rajeev Samant as one of the first commercial wineries in India, Sula didn’t just make wine it created a culture. From introducing varieties like Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Zinfandel to Indian soil to producing India’s first sparkling Shiraz and Grenache Rosé, Sula’s influence on the Indian wine scene is monumental.
But here’s what makes Sula truly endearing: it’s a destination, not just a winery. Sprawling across acres of vines with stunning views of hills and water, Sula offers guided tours, tastings every half hour, picnic spots, gourmet dining, wine pairing sessions and even boutique stays like The Source, Beyond by Sula and the breathtaking The Haven by Sula tucked beside tranquil Gangapur Lake.
Walk among rows of sun‑kissed vines, learn about the winemaking process from vine to bottle and sip wines that have helped Nashik earn its ‘Wine Capital’ reputation. It’s no surprise that when people think of wine in India, they instantly think of Sula – it paved the road for every vineyard that followed.
Chandon India – Sparkling Dreams in Nashik
Visiting Chandon India is about more than just wine, it’s about the feeling it leaves behind. Imagine strolling through vineyard paths as sunlight filters gently through the leaves, a chilled glass of sparkling wine resting in your hand. Guided tours slowly reveal the artistry behind every bottle, while tastings paired with gourmet cheeses awaken your senses. Conversations flow easily, laughter drifts through the vines and for a little while, the world seems to slow down. Whether it’s a romantic afternoon, a toast with friends or simply a peaceful weekend escape, Chandon transforms every visit into a celebration where each bubble rises with a story and every sip carries a spark of joy.
At Chandon India, that magic feels even more special. Setteled among the rolling vineyards of Nashik, this globally renowned winery brings the heritage of the Moët Hennessy family to the heart of India’s Wine Capital, crafting sparkling wines that feel both luxurious and joyful. Chandon chose Nashik for a reason. The sun-kissed vineyards, cool evening breezes and fertile soil create the perfect stage for grapes to flourish. Using the finest local fruit and the traditional méthode traditionnelle, the winemakers patiently craft elegant bottles of Brut, Rosé and Aurva Shiraz wines that sparkle with personality, freshness and a sense of celebration in every sip.
