India Cultivates Wine Tourism Region Outside of Mumbai
Skift Take
Diversifying India's tourism attractions is good for businesses countrywide if domestic and foreign visitors extend trips or look upon India in new light after a glass of Sula wine.
In India, where whiskey is the alcoholic drink of choice and teetotalers exist by the legions, a wine culture has been almost nonexistent. Nashik (also Nasik), a picturesque area with deep green rolling hills about a two-and-a-half-hour drive from Mumbai, is finally changing that perception.
More than a half-dozen wineries with attractive tasting rooms and, in some cases, restaurants and accommodations, have opened here in the last several years and are turning this fertile valley into a popular oenophile destination for trendsetting Indians.
