Are you someone who enjoys a glass and wine and wants to learn more about how wine is made, how it is packaged and what is the right way to enjoy a glass of wine? Well, then you are in luck. Around the outskirts of Bengaluru are wineries that host tours for people where they let you see the process of wine making, crush grapes with your feet and they also give you different wines to taste as a part of a package.

The popular wineries that most people visit include Sula Vineyards, Grover Zampa Vineyards and Big Banyan Vineyards but there are many more as the weather is pleasant and perfect for growing grapes. I have visited the Grover Zampa Vineyard which is one of the oldest wineries in Bengaluru close to Nandi hills and loved the experience. The smell of fermented grapes takes some time to get used to initially but the wine tasting experience was very interesting.

You learn a lot of basic tips like smelling the wine before swirling your glass and other things that truly change the way you would enjoy a glass of wine. The swirling is mainly to help oxidize the wine before drinking it so that the smell is lighter. This is the reason why most people smell, swirl and then sip their wine. It has a lot to do with smell over just the taste. Interesting right?

Most of us love trying different wines whether white or red but are never sure of how to navigate the names, the brands and what wine we would truly enjoy over the variety that is available in the market today. If you are someone who enjoys drinking wine, do give one of these tours a shot and learn new things which will enhance your experience in the future. Cheers!
