This initiative has already resulted in the production of 1,000 cases of wine from the new facility.

An official from the Excise Department stated, "Under the wine tourism initiative, wine enthusiasts will have the opportunity to tour the wine production unit and its premises. Visitors will learn about the history of wine and the production process and get a chance to taste different varieties of wine."

To enhance the experience, guest houses are being developed around these units, allowing tourists to relax and enjoy the region's scenic beauty. Wine tourism has gained significant popularity in several countries, and Uttarakhand aims to tap into this growing trend.
