Nashik Vineyards

Bonjour,

              'Vineyards' this word reminds you of the beautiful french vignobles,doesn't it?.But now we can get a similar experience in India in Nashik . There are now almost 50 wineries in and around Nashik, and excitingly for wine lovers, many Nashik vineyards now have tasting rooms that are open to the public.The vineyards fan out in all directions from Nashik though, so you'll need a car to reach them.But Hey, its still more easier and affordable than going to France right?

 Some of the well known vineyards are: 

Sula Vineyards: Sula Wines was the valley's first commercial winery.
