SOMA Wines Win Gold & Silver at 4th Indian Wine Consumer's Choice Awards 2016

Yet another news to rejoice in 2016!

Soma's Brut Cuvee 2014 and Sauvignon Blanc Gold 2014 have won the 4th Indian Wine Consumer's Choice Awards (IWCCA) 2016 held at Jyran, Sofitel Hotel.

The wines were judged and scored by a panel of consumers without knowing their brand names or price, thereby creating an independent list of India's best wines chosen by consumers themselves.

IWCCA aims at giving the Indian consumers an opportunity to judge for themselves and on behalf of other consumers the best Indian Wines available in the country. This annual accreditation opens the doors for consumers to acknowledge and celebrate new vintages and new wines launched in the market and also provide insights to wineries about what the burgeoning Indian market is inclined towards.

The process of judging a wine is simple. The consumers taste the wines blind, is ensured that he/she is unaware of the brand name or price, thus allowing an unbiased judgment which is solely based on the quality of the wine itself. The only information shared with the consumers is the grape varietal which they judge on the basis of its aroma, color and palate. The winners of each category of the competition are announced through the All Things Nice website and other media channels. Winners are accredited with IWCCA Gold, Silver and Bronze certifications and IWCCA medals.

Dance to the tunes of Music as you shake a leg during Grape Stomping Session at Soma Vine Village

Grape Stomping or commonly referred to as Stomp Dance at Soma Vine Village was no less than a fabulous Tiny Fest this year! Having guests to attend this stomp dance session that was organized on 24th January 2016 and dancing to the beats of the loud music in our amphitheater, was an activity full of fun!

With the harvest season going on, it is difficult to say NO to the stomping session at the Soma Vine Village! In earlier times, stomping was traditionally practiced as a technique because the human feet have just enough pressure to  break the skin of grapes without breaking the seeds because the broken seeds add to the bitter taste of the wine. However, the stomping activity, in the contemporary world, has a more fun oriented element attached to it. 

“Stomp dance” as we named it, makes it a memorable experience for the visitors and guests to be a part of the stomping session during harvest season at Soma Vine Village.

The Stomp Dance session conducted at the Soma Vine Village on 24th January 2016 saw participation from many guests between 11.30 am – 6.30 pm. Here are some pictures of our guests who made the best of the session and had the time of their lives stomping grapes and shake a leg.

We Plan to organize such exciting, fun-filled Stomp dance sessions in the coming weekends as well, as we believe, limiting the best times to enjoy at Soma Vine Village will be unfair to the ones who could not make it to the Stomp dance Session organized in January.

So, the ones who missed the opportunity on 24th January 2016 must get set for our upcoming Stomping session on 6th & 7th February 2016.  And if you missed it too, mark your presence this time!
