Ride with me #15 :The Wine Experience in India Part 1

Hey Steemit

“Travelling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” – Ibn Battuta

And here’s my story about the Wine capital of India.

I know that we learn a lot from books but I have come to realize that whilst travelling the knowledge that you acquire from the experience is embedded for a longer time. For example, I did not know that Nashik is called the Wine capital of India until I reached here and with the reception that I received and the impression that it left on me, I know I will remember it forever.

I was invited to this divine city by the club ‘Cruising Godz’. It was a short ride of 160 kms from Mumbai with only one stop, I choose McDonalds.

I am girl from the South, I strive on coffee.

When I reached Nashik I was quite mesmerized by the weather and the welcoming down to earth people. The early morning fog at the horizon is always a pleasant sight. I could spend ample time admiring that because everything else was taken care of by the ‘Cruising Godz’.

I was put up at the Ginger Hotel by the Cruisin Godz. As soon as I reached I unpacked and made my way for lunch to ‘Players’ which is a restaurant owned by a fellow biker of the Godz. That place is a must visit I might add since the food there was scrumptious!

()

After the delicious meal with the hearty company I was escorted to “Puffs and Rolls Cafe” owned by Sagar and his wife. This cozy cafe also happens to be a boat club since it lies on the banks of a river. The view of the river became even more picturesque owing to the shimmering drizzle and I had a glimpse of the boys of Nashik rowing amidst these droplets dancing with the water.

It was still pouring when us adventurous souls decided to roll out a Thar to go off-roading and head off to the Sula Vineyards. We made a tour of the wine county and binged on all the wine and cheese possible.

()

My glorious day reached it zenith when I went meet the Cruisin Godz community. They received me with such warmth and felicitated my achievements with a Cruising Godz Club T-shirt that it really humbled me. It is always an honour to be appreciated by a fellow biker community, reminds me that I am on the right track, that I have the love and support and reinforces my belief in what I am out to achieve.
