Sula Fest Nashik 2026: Vineyards Before Harvest, Full Tasting & Meeting Rajeev Samant

In this video, I take you to Sula Vineyards in Nashik for my first-ever Sula Fest — India’s biggest wine festival! Shot just before harvest season, I walk you through the stunning vineyards, taste Sula’s entire wine range from entry-level whites to their premium reserves, and even get a chance to meet Rajeev Samant, the founder who put Indian wine on the global map. 🌿 The Pre-Harvest Vineyard Tour We visit the vineyards right before picking season. I show you: Grape varieties like Chenin Blanc How Nashik’s terroir — hot days, cool nights, volcanic soil — gives Sula wines their unique character. Workers preparing for harvest and what makes this year’s vintage special. 🍷 Sula Fest Vibes & Tasting the Full Range Sula Fest is electric — live music, gourmet food stalls, thousands of wine lovers. I take you through Sula’s complete lineup: I share tasting notes, food pairings (think cheese and chocolates), and which bottles are worth taking home. 🤝 Meeting Rajeev Samant — The Man Behind Sula I get a chance to chat with Rajeev Samant, Sula’s founder. We talk: How he turned Nashik into India’s Napa Valley starting from zero. Challenges of Indian winemaking (monsoon, heat, market education). His personal favorites from the Sula range. 🎉 Why Sula Fest is Unmissable Beyond the wine, it’s the vibe — families, couples, wine nerds all celebrating Indian wine culture. Live bands, gourmet stalls, grape stomping — it feels like a mini-Coachella for wine lovers. If you’ve never been to Sula Fest, this video will make you book tickets for next year.
