The vineyard was simply beautiful. You are given a tour of the vineyard and told about the various kinds of grapes grown for the different kind of vines. They also show you around the production area and walk you through the process of wine making. They also have wine tasting where you get to try 6 varieties of wine. let me tell you, you will learn a lot of tasting, smelling and seeing the wine. You will also learn the different ways of holding the wine glass. Overall this was a great experience. You also have the option of taking a package without the tasting part. When we went the weather was amazing too and we didnt want to leave. Also please try to go in the morning itself so you can enjoy the view and relax here for a while before you head home. You can also buy wines before leaving. You can also visit Manchanbelle dam which is only 9kms from the vineyard.

A good place to visit and see how wines are prepared. Situated off Mysore road. Plenty of parking place available. Wheelchair access is there. Beautiful lawns and flowers maintained well. Better to book in advance. Covid19 protocol followed strictly including temp checking and hand sanitisation, they charge Rs 700 per person for vineyard trip including 5 varities of wine tasting. Wine bottles are sold across the counter. Guide will take us for the trip after a short video of 8 minutes duration. Grapes are grown spread over a area of 4 acres. January and February months are the season when grapes are plucked. After this people are taken around inside the factory and shown how the wines are prepared and stored. Wines sold under Big Banyan banner. Wines tasted good and is moderately priced. There also a restaurant called Ranch through which one goes to see the grapes garden. Food and drinks served here with Rs 1500+ taxes per person being charged. Veg and non veg food available. Buffet brunch. Good variety of food spread.

We went on a Vineyard tour with my friends and it was a great day indeed. The place was huge and the host is one of the highlights of the trip. He showed us the inner workings of the harvesting, the making, bottling, labelling of the wines and the wine tasting was amazing. We tasted 6 wines.. 2 white, 2 red, 1 pink and 1 dessert wine along with some crackers and cheese. They have a in house restaurant also. It is a great date place. Even though little difficult to reach but totally worth it.

Let me just say that..this place was a surprise find while casually browsing for weekend fun. Its about an hour drive from Electronic City Phase 1 if you go by NICE road (Mysore Road Exit). After having seen wine yards in Australia and UK I wasnt sure about what to expect. For people who dont travel much this place is a good idea for a day trip. You can pay up few hundred bucks for a field visit ( not so huge though) and the processing unit. Ranch offers good ambience to grab food but if you are going there during weekend ensure to have advance booking as the capacity is limited. Food is just OK and over-priced but the enthusiastic much hyped tourists dont seem to care until out of that place :). Wine collections are limited but the staffs are courteous. Good place for a weekend drive.

The basic tour is quite ordinary. Skip it if youre not interested in the wine tasting.The wine tasting session was fine, it was well conducted. We got to taste 5 different wines.Their restaurant The Ranch has only buffet on weekends and the food wasnt good.1500 + taxes for just food.2000 + taxes for food w/ beer or wine.Overall, not a great value. Try visiting over a weekday. Weekends are chaotic.

A good place to go out on a holiday with family. Very clean and classy place with nice staff. The food at Ranch was amazing. Really liked how well the place is maintained. You will get a really good tour of the vineyard and wine tasting session as well. Just make sure you book in prior to avoid any timing clashes with other pre bookings especially on weekends. Cheers!

Its a lovely open place if you go in a slightly bigger group. Fortunately we got a table outside, it was crowded to the brim. Since there are lots of walk ins too, better to book a table in advance for the restaurant.Sunday buffet was a good spread. There was a live counter too. Food, I would say, was not exceptionally good, but still it was decent. We took a short tour of vineyard without tasting..vineyard is not huge...one can easily walk around.Overall it was a good day spent, weather was lovely and company was awesome.

The Ambience is beautiful. Tasting 6 types of wine was an wonderful experience. Understood lots about wine n making of wine and staff there are friendly.... The place is clean and hygiene.There is also this global cuisine restaurant called Ranch which has yummy food... Restaurants ambience is beautiful too.. Totally its an wonderful experience for a day tour..

Great place for a day visit . Over expensive food.. and not very good taste .. although the whole ambience was very good ..

Nice place to go out on weekends with friends or family. Wine tasting session was good. They even took us to their production area. Then they took us to the vineyard which was at a walking distance. We could go around and see different types of grapes.Were told not to pluck them as they have sprayed some chemical or so which I guess was just a lame attempt to prevent people from plucking them.Overall it will take around 2.5 to 3 hours to complete all the activities.

Wine tasting tour is good. Restaurant Ranchs ambience is awesome. Service is just average. Food is alright. People (everyone) are very nice and helpful.

Beautiful place best time to visit is Dec to march

If youre planning to visit, please go only in Jan and Feb. Else there is nothing to see. You can just move around the vineyard and wine production factory (paid of course). Wine tasting is available for extra price.

Kid friendly place with Amazing Food and Beautiful Ambience... wine tasting was much informative.

The place is nice for a weekend getaway. It has a vineyard tour which you can take but i would recommend pre-booking the experience and reserving your table on weekends as there is lot of crowd. Its worth visiting once at least.

It was a good experience. A day tour atleast. First is a audio/video room which will give you a quick outlook about the place and what is in the farm. Then they will take you to small tour by walk where you can see how grapes are grown and their variety. Best would be if you plan a visit around February and March when grapes are ripe and ready for production. Then it will be production place and at last if you love wines, you get a chance to taste different flavours depending upon the package. A basic package starts from rs. 250 per adult to a max of 850 which is premium. They also have a restaurant where food is good, but expensive. I mean, a simple mint lemonade cost us rs. 350. And to be precise, these prices are without gst.

Best vineyard l have been to....Well maintained in every aspect towards to bringing out the best wines.

Old friends, wine and some sunshine.Make a day rather fine.Far from the madding crowds, social distancing was maintained effortlessly at @bigbanyanwinesWe took in sips and swirls of their finest and polished up on our wine etiquette whilst polishing off their wines!A scrumptious meal was had and many a good memory made..However do note that children are not allowed in for the tasting or into the production site. The good folks at Big Banyan are more than willing to spilt groups into batches, and there is much that kids can do around the property from playing in a mini park to sauntering around the wineyards or strolling along the stream.

Ambience - 4/5. Its well maintained and huge place to explore. Quite spacious.Foods - 3/5. Tastes average, at least what I tried.Service - 3/5. The person who got us food kept dropping things around, was probably having a bad day at work. But kind enough to address the issue.Tip: The vineyard tour is a waste of money, apart from what they speak. You can explore the place outside of the tour as well.

Had an amazing Experience at the this very nice property.Great Place.I actually landed up here randomly while on my way to Savandurga. But it was worth a visit. Would love to visit again.

Great Vineyard tour & wine tasting!The vineyard is well maintained & its an easy drive from Bangalore cityThe host - Kinara, she was very good & explained the process thoroughly. They serve 5 different wines - 2 white, 2 red & a dessert wine. All were good. I would highly recommend this place for wine lovers.Note: Kids are not allowed in the wine tasting area or in the factory tour.Overall a memorable experience, Would be glad to come back some other time.

Beautiful Vineyard, great wines. And the Ranch is an amazing place to stay

Amazing place. The vineyard is maintained beautifully and is such a respite from the hustle and bustle of the city. The wine tour was very informative and fun. Must visit!

1. Prompt response and a very warm welcome2. Great tour of the winery3. Great taste of the wine... 5 diff varieties4. Amazing estate5. Worth all the time you spend here

Very well maintained and a good wine tour. A good place to visit for a weekend getaway or even just a day trip from Bangalore.

Good place to hangout with a group of friends. Friendly staffs and service.

Its a nice to have pleasent weekendAlso the wine tasting is a good experienceTo chill with friends or family

This was a nice half day experience. I had never visited a vineyard before. While I dont remember all that was explained on how wine is created, it was interesting to hear.For someone who doesnt like wine, the different wines provided for the wine tasting tasted pretty much how I expected. But my cousin liked them quite a bit.Overall, it was a good one-time experience.

A brand of Jhon Distilleries. Its an amazing place to visit. They take you through the whole process, very patiently and elaboratively. You can even taste different wines. And, amazingly enough you can tell the difference of each wine like an expert. Its an awesome and wholesome experience.

Its a beautiful, peaceful place to relax

Its a wonderful experience destination for not just wine enthusiasts but for all. Good ambience, good wines and a place where you find peace. We spent a couple of hours in the vineyard. We had a really awesome experience. It is worth a visit.

Amazing Vineyard tour, wine & cheese tasting!The vineyard is well hidden from the bustling highway, and its an easy drive from Bengaluru to reach. The place is beautifully kept and we were amazed by the well kept lawn.We were welcomed by two wonderful hosts, who helped us understand Big Banyan, the Vineyards, different varieties of grapes and the subtlety involved in wine drinking.We were taken on a detailed tour of factory, and the Vineyard, after which we headed to the tasting room, which was tastefully built :PThe host was knowledgeable about each wine, and helped us discover subtler and nuanced flavors of 5 different wines - 2 white, 2 red and one dessert wine. It was one of the best tasting experiences we had.The only negative, as per what I feel, is the lack of food options as there are no food shops nearby. However. Big Banyan is in the process of building a restaurant as well as a resort.Again, thanks for the amazing wine tour, and the tasting process. Would be glad to come back some other time. :)

Nice place with the range of 250 to 850 without tax for tasting and tour.

Had an amazing tour today..thanks to nandish for patiently walking us through how wines are produced and helping us get to know art of wine tasting.. must visit place.. its amazing how the brand blends with big banyan tree itself..land ...lore and love... Thanks again nandish

Very beautiful place with good food and good hospitality. Value for money. Enjoyed throughly. 😊

Beautifully curated gardens and a wonderful restaurant

Great experience , worth a day trip , excellent wine tasting session , beautiful property .

The wine tasting experience was great. Loved the place ambience.

Also called as john distillery. Estate is very big and neat and clean. Tour is properly planned.However in times of covid 19 wine tasting is prohibited. Purchasing wines from there is 10% discounted. Overall good place

We visited this winery & vineyards over the Independence Day long weekend. (made long by a leave). This winery is much more accessible from electronic city than other wineries in the area, so i was very interested in visiting them once i knew that they were opening to public. We were welcomed by the very hospitable Monisha who kindly helped us with all aspects of our visit, even though we we were a small group. Mahesh who is the wine maker, took us through the steps in the making of wines, and explained all the intricacies in spite of how much of noobs we were in the topic of wines. The tavern area has good cozy feel, which would be evident in the spring-winter evenings especially. Beautiful garden area provides a nice relaxing atmosphere out front. They are still in the process of developing the facilities like a restaurant and resort which should be running by the end of the year. We visited the vineyards even though the grapes are not yet formed, It would be a great place to visit in this area come January when the grapes would be in season. We surely plan to visit them again.

Wine tour could be better. Food is good, wine tasting experience is good.

Place was serene. But the vineyard tour at this time of year was not worth it.

Its a Nice Place as you can see the Wine yard and taste the wines and also they will explain the process. But best time to go is from January to April.

Great place, nice wine tour with tasting and the food is good as well though little expensive. The location is decent enough. Overall a good place to hangout

Its a well maintained, beautiful place, must give a visit

Very good place experience is good foods are also good thanks .

The ambience is beautiful. The food is delicious.One must try the wine tasting event here!

Nice place for a family picnic or a days outing. The wine tour is very engaging. Tasting session is interesting as well. Its a small tour to roam around, but the sessions are long enough and keep you entertained. Spent a good day here.

What a great wine tour experince!Big Banyan got a big potential for high quality of wine by its dedicated effort and passion in the wine making.Thanks so much for the serving by Kanika and Mahesh! Apprecite that!17Jan2020 5pm

Taste of wine 🍷😋 must try

We went out for a long drive ended up in this Amazing Vineyard ! Walking in this huge grape yard was very good. Ranch Restaurant is located in awesome open place but cost is overpriced with limited A la Carte menu. They have premier cottages planning to go with family once.

Nice place to hang out for a day out with family and friends. One can even purchase a wine there.

Good wine tasting experience. Offers wine tours with 3 different prices, depending on your taste for wine. Very pleasant, green place, tho a little difficult to get to due to narrow roads. The vineyard here is only for show, the grapes are brought from Goa and Kerala. The restaurant here is quite good. We paid 2800 for 3 adults, without drinks. Private Parking is available on the property

Loved the experience.. something soothing n different away from Bangalore chaos ...loved the greenery...

One of the best place 😍 cant take my eyes out of this place 😍😍🥰 Nd never knew these many types of vines existed .. vth different taste , aromas Nd even types

Beautiful weekend getaway from Bangalore with luscious greenery all around the place..the cottages are made to look like kerala heritage houses and open to sky restrooms...food and drinks are really good but a little expensive ..one thing thumbs down for them would be the speed of service ( cooking time is very long) ...else this place deserves a 5 star...Definitely a must- visit place from Bangalore that offers you luxury in th laptop of nature.. You can also opt for a day trip clubbed along with wine tasting session offered by them..enjoy the next level experience

Vineyard guided tour is a sure do! There are various options :- with & without wine tasting. In wine tasting too there is a premium & a semi premium option. We novice took the semi premium option. The sommelier gave us 6 samples of wine to understand the different properties of wine, like Colour, Smell, taste, etc...

Vineyard tour guide was good ... ...very supportive and educative staff members about the vineyards ...Ranch the restaurant inside the vineyard had average food and bit on the expensive side ...would recommend to have lunch before you come here ...

It is quite a village like atmosphere. Near by lots of nursery available. A grand resort is coming up and good veg and nonveg drive in restaurant has come in spacious place. Greenery around, vineyard is also there. Catching up with City in development. No industry was seen. ISRO office also coming up near by. Area is full of development activities. Price of land is slowly increasing.

This is best place for vineyards and I just loved the hospitality people respond there nicely and professional .

Really loved the place. Nicely kept and an awesome getaway for people who would love to know more about wines. The staff were real helpful.Though, we were here in the off season. The vineyard must be beautiful during Feb to March.

Not good they are showing only grape plants and storage tanks of fermantation nothing else no processing ,no bottleing in winery tour charging 250+gst

Mesmerizing relaxing pampering experience

Wine is bottled poeTRy! It was a beautiful experience during the Christmas season and the delightful weather.. a nice wine tour and tasting experience... a great idea for spending a Sunday with family and friends if you are in Bengaluru!

It was a really nice experience... and I must appreciate the knowledge of mr.jacob at the wineyard.. please must visit for a day outing

The place is great but the guy who took us on the production tour was quite rude.

Very nice place with plenty of greenery and a vineyard and restaurant worth visiting.

Good

Its something different place.you can enjoy day outing with and family.

Nice place only the food feel u expensive buffet cost u around 1200Wine toor with taste around 700

It was a wonderful experience in the wineyards and great ambiance around and liked the place amazing experience .

The Ranch was a very nice Sunday brunch experience with lovely wines and commendable service

A Great weekend hangout place ,interesting tour, a great restaurant but expensive. Will definitely stimulate the wine connoisseurs.

Beautiful place spread over 20acres of land surrounded by trees, vineyard, resort....

Great food. Great ambience. Great service. Sufficient parking. Cannot ask for more.

Good for a sunday outing. Place is off Mysore road about 28 kms from MG road.The Vineyard has Vineyard tour and wine tasting packages. Basic package costs ₹250 + GST which doesnt include any wine tasting. Wine tasting packages range from ₹450 to ₹950+ GST. The distillery is very compact and you can have a bird eyes view of the entire operation from a central platform. You will have a host who would take you around and explain the wine making process, types of wines and their character.You can have lunch at the Ranch which is colocated. You will have buffet brunch on weekends. ₹999 + taxes without wine and ₹1500 + taxes with unlimited wine. You have limited outdoor seating. Most of the seating is indoors which anyway is likr a big gazebo and the ambiance is okay. The spread was quite elaborate, but restocking is slow if you are eating after 3 pm.

Place is very good.... Good food, Beautiful ambience, Good wineyard

Ranch restaurant is quite good, nice ambience, reasonable spread.. courteous staff..

Hi there,Is there an email address that we can contact the vineyard and winery on? The website doesn’t show up.

Amazing place. Would totally suggest you to visit.Lot of activities and the chefs food is a 10/10

Lovely place. Great dining and wining.

View some videos online & this place is surely to be avoided... Waste of time & money for the wineyard part. Havent tried the restaurant part after this experience.

Tasting part of the tour is good.

Horrible horrible trip, extremely dissatisfying wine tour. I rarely say this, but the worst hosts one could hope for.

Hi no one is picking up the call and the booking form on the website is not working

Superb place

Couldnt go inside and explore. We wanted to visit the grape fields.

It was really a great experience. Loved it!!!!

Nice place for Sunday hangout..

Food and ambience both are good 😊

Very Nice farm house

Lovely place to spend your day. The wines are great!

Wine tourism at big banyan vineyard is a very nice place, if you are on Mysore road you must visit this center to have a wine tasting experience.
