Day 02: Nashik – Wine Tour (understanding wines)

Today you will start on the journey of exploring the making of wines. You will first see the vineyards where the grapes of different varieties are grown which go into the making of the wines of different aroma and tastes. While you are mesmerized by the sight of beautiful green valleys of the vineyards where grapes in neatly lined rows are grown, the local guide will uncover the mystery of the journey of wine from grapes to the bottle. Visit the winery where the grapes are crushed, processed and converted into the fine tasting wines. You will then proceed to The Tasting Room, India’s first atop the vineyard providing a perfect ambience to appreciate and know more about wines. Wine appreciation/evaluation is done by understanding a wine through its colour, aroma, flavour, texture and body. The Wine tasting session will help you broaden your horizons on wine by demonstrating how to differentiate and characterize a wine.

River Godavari is believed to be the Ganges which has been brought to this place by Rishi Gautam by performing Worship of Lord Shiva so as he can wash his sins by bathing into it. Pleased with his prayers Lord Shiva granted him his wish and thus River Ganges originated as River Godavari at Brahmagiri Mountain, where Trimbakeshwar temple is located.
