History

Sula Vineyards was founded by Mr. Rajeev Samant in the late 1990s. Samant studied at Stanford University and worked at Oracle in California thereafter. After quitting his corporate job, Samant established Sula upon his return to India. Sula was named after Samant's mother – 'Sulabha'. Samant steadily grew the company over the next few years by introducing newer grape varieties and expanding the company's offerings. The Nashik region has been called "India’s Napa Valley." Currently, Sula operates two wineries at Nashik and Dindori in Maharashtra, and has taken over three custom crush facilities in Nashik and Karnataka.Sula's grapes come from their vineyards as well as from contract farmers across the region. The company's viticulture team trains and educates these farmers on best practices. In 2015, Sula announced a price increase of 10% for its contract farmers in order to support the farmers through unpredictable changes in weather as well as to meet the increasing demand for wine in India.
