There’s something romantic about the art of wine-making – the word itself transports you to the hilly vineyards of France where you imagine birds chirping and people making wine in merry, unexposed to the fury of the modern world. So when one gets the opportunity to visit Grover Zampa Vineyard one must take it up in glee anticipation.
40 kilometers north of Bangalore in the state of Karnataka, stretches a region that has recently come to the world’s attention. Today, it has triumphantly risen as a rich wine producing area which was once known as Tipu Sultan’s and later, the British summer retreat. Nandi Hills is a picturesque region dotted with sloping green hillsides and miles of forestland, inhabited with incredibly beautiful wildlife. In such paradisiacal landscape, stand the Grover vineyards.
The region offers tranquil surroundings, a rich history and beautiful vistas to the travelers and also allows them to train their binoculars over the spectacular Asian Paradise Flycatchers, Bulbuls, Blue Capped Rock Thrush, Tawny Eagles, and Puff-Throated Babblers etc.
