Although pioneering Grover Vineyards was established in 1992, winemaking in Karnataka didn’t really take off until The Karnataka Wine Policy was introduced in 2007.  This has encouraged entrepreneurs to invest, vineyards have been replanted with wine grapes and wineries have been established. 

Significant sums are being invested into the Karnataka wine industry and we can already see some of the country’s best wines emerging from the state.  Most of Karnataka’s important wineries are located on the topographic relief map below.
