Summer of '17 : Grape Stomping 🍇 at Sheraton Grand Bangalore

It was a {Lazy} Sunday & what better thing to do than embracing an invite from Sheraton Bangalore "Grape stomping Festival", in association with Grover Zampa wines. 

On a humid afternoon having Sparkling Wine & some nibblers, we were just getting ready to kick off our shoes and stomp some grapes, to extract grape juice with our feet. While every event varies, we’ve had a memorable weekend to remember ! 

The "tub!", waiting for Stompers 

Just loved the tunes, played by the Live Band

The atmosphere was fantastic as ever and the great hospitality was taking our experience to an all new high. It was more of a family event with fellow bloggers, we had our banter, with fine wine and some lip smacking food and exhilarating music at Persian Terrace Sheraton Grand Bangalore

We were served both the sparkling wines from Grover Zampa Vineyards "Zampa Soiree {my personal best } and Zampa Soiree Brut Rose", and a mix of Persian to the best of Italian food  from Bene, at an Al fresco "blogger table", to be precise!!!

We did notice the guests having a fabulous time, including us who were indulging & thanks for being tantalized by wacky balloons! & MC Samaira Khan making announcements of the best  couples, who squashed maximum juice in a stipulated time, were awarded an exciting trip to the Grover Zampa Vineyards.

The exquisite Italian cuisine created by the renowned Chef Giuseppe Lioce, paired perfectly well with the wine . Chef with his great sense of humor did walk us through "the must try" of the afternoon: Ravioli in white sauce {with a "gorgonzola" cheese filling} and Cavatelli { Pasta } , both the dishes were mind blowing & even the little one enjoyed.

Don't they make a pretty pair!

We loved the elaborate spread, starting with typical collection of Italian breads {that goes good with mozzarella cheese } & the 'antipasti station', just loved one of the dishes with caramelized onion, olive oil, oregano & signed off with some desserts! {Gelato & mousse}

Wine stomping has always been a fun-filled occasion & fostering social interactions. 

The Grape Stomping festival was priced at ₹2000 + tax which is a steal {Live food station, Kids Area, Grand Dessert Buffet, Live Band}! 

In my humble opinion, we were enamored by the spread & little one did thoroughly, enjoy it as much as well.
