Review of Grover Vineyards

Highlights:

Highlights:
1. Wine tasting was the best part if you have a palate for wine. Lots of learning and great experience under the guidance of a professional winemaker. 6 wines were offered during the tasting.
2. Folks out there are very courteous and professional. It s a well managed affair with a neat ambience considering that it actually is a factory where wine is made and they are workers and office staff moving around and working and shifting material.

Lowlights:
1. Food isn t particularly tasty. Variety is less for the cost and mostly is bland - partially pairing up with their wine. The food itself is well prepared and hygienic but lacked flavour and spice. Will not suit groups who expect biriyani or sambar rice for lunch.
2. Wine tour isn t much of a tour than just a view of their machines, bottling plant and the fermentation casks. I would keep the feedback on wine tasting part separate from the wine tour itself. Also, there is no vineyard in their property. They said we need to travel half a kilometre outside their area to see how grapes are grown.
3. No particular discount on their wines. I would rather get a free bottle in a 1+1 offer from a local store near my home during festival season than get a 20/- discount that they are giving on a wine that costs 800/-

Overall - please go only if your group is truly interested in learning more on how to enjoy the taste of wine cos that s the real highlight. No point going there just to spend half a day thinking it s a fun place, cos it s not.
