DOMAINE SULA
Domaine Sula encapsulates all things wine beautifully and depicts the rich heritage of Indian sustainable winemaking.
Previously known as Heritage winery and vineyards, Domaine Sula is the company's (the country's largest wine brand) fourth unit in Karnataka. The winery is located on the Mysore highway near the town of Channapatna in Karnataka, famous for its handmade wooden toys, and is approximately 77 km from MG road in Bangalore via NH 275.
Spread over nine acres of vineyards, the winery produces Sula's Kādu range of wines - meaning 'wild' in Kannada (it is India's first wine dedicated to tiger conservation within the state of Karnataka) - besides its other delicious range of wines.
Head over to the estate for a guided wine tour conducted all through the year. Learn about the various aspects of winemaking, taste the Kādu and Sula wines in their tasting room and dine at the vineyard restaurant which serves rich, herb-infused Italian cuisine.
