The second oldest winery in Karnataka was founded in 2002 by RC Jigajinagi, a former MP.  The 40 ha site located near Bijapur includes a winery and vineyards.  Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Zinfandel are grown and used to produce wines sold under the Kinvah brand. 

Since 2009, Hampi Heritage’s Kinvah wines have been marketed by the Bangalore-based Nandi Valley Winery.
