Nestled in the southern state of Karnataka, Bangalore & The South is quietly becoming a major player in the Indian wine industry. This region boasts a moderate climate due to its altitude, ranging from 800 to 950 meters, creating ideal conditions for grape cultivation. The verdant slopes of the Nandi Hills were the chosen spot for wine pioneer Kanwal Grower's first vineyard, marking the beginning of this exciting wine region.
Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon are the region's signature grapes, but don't miss out on exploring other varietals like Shiraz and Chardonnay that thrive in the unique soil composition of gravel, limestone, and gneiss granules. Expect wines that range from crisp and refreshing whites to bold and structured reds.

Bangalore itself is transforming into an urban wine hub. While not the center of production, the city boasts a growing number of urban wineries using grapes from this region to create unique blends, catering to the city's sophisticated and international palate.
