Beyond the music, festival-goers can enjoy curated food offerings, Sula’s award-winning wines, along with vineyard views.
As India's iconic vineyard music festival steps into its 15th year, SulaFest is no longer just a weekend event - it's a cultural ritual. Returning to the sun-drenched lawns of Sula Vineyards in Nashik on January 31 and February 1, the landmark edition promises to be a sensory escape where music, wine and slow-living collide.
After a sold-out return in 2025, SulaFest 2026 embraces what it does best: unhurried afternoons, high-energy nights, and the romance of live music amid rolling vineyards. This year's line-up reflects the festival's evolved identity - rooted in Indian sounds yet globally attuned. From chart-topping names like King and genre-bending powerhouse Nucleya to eclectic acts such as Midival Punditz featuring Karsh Kale and Kutle Khan, Gaudi, The Yellow Diary, and Swarathma, the programming moves fluidly from soulful daytime grooves to pulsating after-dark performances.
For Rajeev Samant, chief executive officer (CEO) of Sula Vineyards, the 15th edition is as much about legacy as it is about reinvention.
"This milestone is deeply special for us," he said, noting that the team has focused on enhancing everything audiences already cherish about SulaFest while introducing fresh, immersive experiences.
The result is a festival that feels both familiar and elevated.
Beyond the stages, SulaFest continues to celebrate indulgence at its most relaxed. Guests can explore curated food pop-ups, sip Sula's award-winning wines, experiment with wine cocktails and sample new launches like The Source Chardonnay Reserve, Sula Muscat Blanc and Sula Merlot - all woven seamlessly into the vineyard setting.
With passes starting at Rs 3,100 and tickets now live on BookMyShow, SulaFest 2026 offers more than just a music festival - it's a weekend getaway, a lifestyle statement and a reminder of how Nashik became India's wine capital. At 15, SulaFest isn't just growing up; it's growing richer in character, flavour and soul.
