The city of Nashik is situated in Maharashtra and is known as the Wine Capital of India, given the quantity of grapes it produces. It is around 180 km away from Mumbai and close to 200 km from Pune. The ‘Napa Valley’ lies on the Western Ghats. Nashik was formerly the capital of the Satvahana Dynasty. During the 16th Century, the city came under the Mughal rule and was called Gulshanabad. From them it went over to the Peshwas, who finally lost the place to the Britishers in the 19th Century.
