What is NVWPA all about?
Nashik Valley Wine Producers Association (NVWPA) is an association of wineries spread across the Nashik Valley. The association initiates as well as participates in various activities mainly aimed at promoting wine industry and wine culture in the country.
Proud to be part of the Wine Revolution in India
As a result of efforts taken by individual wine-manufacturing units and the concerted efforts of NVWPA, the wine industry has now reached the take off speed. Not only quantitatively but also qualitatively our wines have become so popular that the world is sitting up and taking notice of our excellent wines.
Increasing vineyards' acreage
Where there were just handfuls of wineries earlier, today there are more than 30 with dozens more coming up every year. Thousands of acres of wine grapes have been planted in Maharashtra, bringing prosperity to the small wine grape growers. Still there is tremendous potential in the sector.
Success through sweat
India's Wine Revolution is an instrument in making Nashik the Wine Capital of India. This has not happened over night. This is a result of tremendous struggle the wine industry has made to achieve the present status.
Learning and growing
NVWPA is a witness and active partner in the over all development of the industry. The association organizes and participates in various workshops, seminars, wine festivals, etc. to promote wine culture. More importantly, it creates and maintains good relations with the authorities and impresses the importance of nurturing the rising industry, with a view to give a boost to wineries in general and wine grape growers in particular.
Thank you, Ministers
As a part of these efforts, we, the NVWPA thank the Hon. Union Minister for Agriculture, Govt. of India, the Ministry of food processing, the Ministers of Maharashtra State Government for listening to our problems, understanding them and sorting them out, to enable the industry sail smoothly.
To summarize
So, this is how NVWPA is making continuous effort to solve the problems and remove the hurdles coming in the way of its members, to enable them to journey further towards greater progress, inciting vigour and confidence.
Three cheers for the Wine Revolution in India !
