A visit to Nashik, the wine capital of the country, is incomplete without visiting the vineyards. Located at an altitude of 600 meters above sea level in the Western Ghats, the soil of Nashik is of volcanic origin. This ensures high levels of acid in the grape with the cool nights of Nashik, while the warm days ensure optimum maturity of the grape, resulting in the right growing conditions and terrain for premium wine grapes.
While there are about 50 wineries in the state, the most popular ones include Sula Vineyards, York Winery, Vallon, Soma Vineyards, and Grover Zampa. You can choose to tour any of these company-owned vineyards, as well as taste some of their best wine selections and receive a discount on purchases. An expert in the wine tasting section will show you the right way to hold a wine glass, see the color, smell it, and finally taste it! Some vineyards, such as Soma, allow you to stump grapes in vats to experience the method of maceration used in traditional winemaking.
Apart from this while savoring this adventure with wine, vineyards, and much more you will be looking for accommodation to enhance your experience, which will suit your needs and tastes. A few of the hotels that can be considered as listed below.
