Sniff, swirl and sip

The second Bandra Wine Tasting Festival is your chance to hobnob with winemakers, celebrity chefs and musicians as you sip on some of the best wines from around the world

If you think wine is just a beverage made from fermented grapes, get set to sniff, swirl and sip your way through a session on wine appreciation or just head to the Wine Tasting Festival, now in its second year.
Choose from over 60 varieties of Indian, Australian, Italian and Spanish wines, and take part in wine aroma sessions that will teach you how to identify wines based on their smell.



"We started this fest to initiate people into drinking wine and helping them realise their likes and dislikes," says Meghna Desai, member of Pune Gourmet Club, one of the organisers of the even, of the two-day festival.
Participants can sip on sparkling ros ufffds and dessert wines, while feasting on 30 varieties of gourmet cheese from Kodaikanal, Ooty and Bangalore. There's also sushi and oysters at the Tapas bar, besides pastas, pizzas and barbequed lobster and crab.

A live band will perform Jazz and Soft Rock to appease all your senses.
