The Source at Sula
Why we love it
"Among the vines at the site of Sula's first winery"
India's first heritage winery resort stands on the site of Sula's first ever winery, looking over the vines, the Deccan hills and Gangapur Lake. That provenance is the whole point: you sleep where Sula began, every room is named after a global wine region, and a complimentary winery tour and tasting at Sula Vineyards comes with the stay.
Pick your wine region to sleep in
The rooms range wide. Courtyard Rooms sit around a European-style courtyard with cobbled stone floor, a vintage fountain and their own wicker swings; Vintage Rooms take garden or hill views; the Grand Cru adds a living room and a large private balcony. The Tree Houses are wooden cottages crafted in acacia by artisans, the Vineyard View version facing rows of vines running to the backwaters and the Sahyadris. Up the scale, the Tower Suite is a duplex in The Source's tower with the bedroom stacked above its balcony living room, and the Hermitage Suite spreads 1,150 sq ft on the second floor (no lift) with a grand balcony and a white marble bathroom whose soaking tub looks over vineyard, hills and lake.
Sleep where Sula began, inside the estate.
Four restaurants keep the estate fed and watered: La Bodega, Tasting Room, Rasa and the Starlight Terrace. A temperature-controlled outdoor pool and jacuzzi handle the afternoons, there is a spa and fitness centre, and cycling through the vineyards is the house sport.
The practical notes
Nashik is Maharashtra's wine country and The Source sits inside the Sula estate at Govardhan village, off the Gangapur road. House rules are firm and worth knowing: check-in 3pm, checkout noon, no smoking, no pets, no parties. Come for the tasting, stay for the quiet of the vines.

Rooms & rates
330 sq ft with garden or hill views. The house pitches these as its Tuscany-in-Nashik rooms, roomy enough for families. The photographs show sage-green walls, a cane-backed king bed and a pair of armchairs. Winery tour and tasting included.
A 400 sq ft step up with a separate living room and a garden-view bedroom. The house says these are among its most requested rooms. Winery tour and tasting included.
300 sq ft off the resort's cobbled courtyard, which does a fair impression of a European square with its vintage fountain and cafe chairs. Each room gets its own wicker swing, they say, and sits centrally in the resort.
400 sq ft with a sitting area and a large private balcony. Every piece of furniture was handpicked, per the house, and the photos of a green velvet sofa and sunny striped armchair rather back them up.
A 578 sq ft duplex in the resort's tower. White marble living floor and balcony below, king bedroom and bath above, with garden, Gangapur dam and mountain views by the house's telling.
A 1,000 sq ft suite the house calls its biggest, though its own Hermitage runs larger, with a large living room and a balcony the house recommends for a glass of wine at sunset.
1,150 sq ft on the second floor (no lift), with a grand balcony over vineyard, hills and lake, white marble bathroom and a soaking tub. The television lives in the living room.
270 sq ft on stilts with an unbroken line over the vines to the backwaters and Sahyadri hills, per the house. A four-poster in sheer netting and a private deck; the best seat in the house, they reckon.
The same 270 sq ft cabin, crafted in acacia wood by the house's own artisans by their telling, facing the gardens rather than the vines. Deck, bathrobes and all.
