The Grape Escape in Goa
The fifth edition of The Grape Escape, a wine and cuisine festival will be held
in Goa from February 5 to 8, bringing together under one roof international
wine makers and various stake-holders of the hospitality industry from India
and overseas.
Organised by the Goa Tourism Development Corporation Ltd. (GTDC), the 4-day
extravaganza in coastal Panjim aims to project Goa as a lifestyle destination.
"The idea is to encapsulate the vivacity of Goan lifestyle by highlighting its
multicultural influences and artistic passions, thus branding Goa as a
lifestyle destination," said GTDC vice-chairman Lyngdon Monteiro while talking
to the media last Friday.
Chairman of the GTDC , Shyam Satardekar said, 'as always, the festival promises
to be a unique cultural experience as it brings together international wine
makers and local patrons, hoteliers, restaurants and professionals from the
entertainment, food and beverage and life style industries under one roof.'
Billed as the off-season promotional events, the festival would present
culinary delights from across the globe, international fusion cuisine and
exotic deserts apart from the wine tasting sessions.
Several wineries including Four Season Wine, Big Banyan, Diageo and Indage are
reportedly taking part in the fiesta. Last year Sula, Indage, Nine Hills,
Chateau de Banyan etc. had taken part.
' This festival is the biggest wine platform provided in Goa where not only
expats and tourists but Indians rush to enjoy the cultural programmes, fashion
shows, live music and to taste wines from various participating producers, all
without charge. Of course, wines can be purchased at the spot too,' informs
Kawaljeet Singh, Head-Sales and Marketing of Big Banyan, the Goa based winery
that is a regular participant in the festival. It is a big promotion for the
Indian wineries by the tourism department, he says, adding that about 4-5,000
people come to have a good time.
The fiesta is organised at the huge courtyard of Inox Theatre in Panjim.
