Escaping from the confines of high-end restaurants and hotels, wine culture has rapidly spread across Mumbai and has almost become a regular drink of celebration.

The festival starts at 12.30 pm from today and will include activities like grape stomping, carnival games and wine tours and tasting sessions. Commenting on the festival, Ravi Gurnani, owner of York Winery, says, “This fest is an attempt to celebrate the good things in life and will showcase an interesting and award winning melange of wines, coupled with amazing performances by Shrilektric with Nasik Dhol, Something Relevant and the headlining act by Karsh Kale.”
