At the session you can learn what food to pair with which wine

Jayesh Paranjape, founder of Western Routes and one of the organisers of the event, says, “This is the best season to visit vineyards. In this trip, we will conduct a tour of the vineyards, inform participants about the wine making process and show them the different types of grapes that are grown in vineyards. New leaves are coming up this season and the visit promises to be fun. After the visit, there will be a wine tasting session which will be followed by lunch and then we head back.”

Paranjape adds that they started vineyard tours last year and the response has been very good. “This winery is not in the typical wine belt of the state. This trip can also be considered as a family trip as participants can come along with their kids,” he states.
