History
1999: Winery established
The first city to offer mass production of wine drinks in India was Nashik or Nasik in Maharashtra. Even the status of a holy city associated with "Ramayana" and acting as the venue of Kumbh Mela did not prevent it from occupying this niche. The local climate is ideal for growing several types of grapes that are great for creating quality wines. For 2022, Nashik is considered the "capital of winemaking in India" and the "main region for the production of peremial wines" in the country. Locally produced beverages are not only supplied to alcoholic stores in India, but are also exported abroad. The most famous Nashik winery is Sula Vineyards.
The winery began operations in 1999. The owner of the production was Rajiv Samant, a native of Mumbai and a graduate of Stanford University who previously worked in California at Oracle Corporation. The name Sula is short for his mother's name, Sulabha.
For 10 years, Rajiv managed not only to make the brand competitive, but also to bring it among the leaders of this market.
