Sula Vineyards, Nashik — India's Wine Country

1 min read · 10 Jul 2026

Sula Vineyards, on the outskirts of Nashik, is widely credited as a pioneer of India's modern wine industry, and remains one of the country's most visited vineyard destinations.

India's Wine Country

Nashik's climate and terrain turned out to be well suited to grape cultivation, and Sula's success in the early 2000s helped establish the region as India's answer to more established global wine regions, with several other vineyards following since.

Tours and Tastings

Vineyard tours typically cover the growing and winemaking process, followed by tastings of Sula's range of wines — a relaxed, scenic activity quite different from Nashik's temple-focused pilgrimage sites.

SulaFest

The vineyard also hosts SulaFest, a popular annual music and lifestyle festival, drawing visitors from across the country when it's on.

Visiting Tips

Plan for at least half a day to properly enjoy a tour, tasting, and the vineyard grounds — many visitors also stay for a meal at the on-site restaurant overlooking the vines.
