One thing that I should make clear is that the type of tour that you embark on depends on the season. If its not the season for grapes then you will not see the actual process in action. We did not make it for the Sula Vineyards tour during grape season and when we went to the counter to buy the tickets we were given a basic idea of what we would see (i.e. No grapes!!). The cost was nominal at Rs 375/- per person with samples of six different wines (30 ml each). If you don’t want to the Sula vineyards tour, you can just head up to the restaurant and sip wine while taking in the view. Shawn and I were determined to see the process and the tour was cheap, so we thought why not?

During the tour we were told that Sula grows its vineyard in the North to South direction so that the entire plantation gets equal amount of light. This light is essential in the uniform ripening of grapes. They showed us the machine where the grapes were separated from the leaves and stalk. We even got to see the machine that is used for crushing the grapes. An interesting fact that we learned that day was that both red and green grapes can be used to make red wine, but only green grapes are used to make white wine!
