THE WINES

Current-release tastings at a working winery

Nazaaray presents an exploration of its current-release wines in a cellar-door setting, offering a direct look at what the estate is producing now.

THE FLAVORS

Indian-fusion plates to pair with wine

The tasting can be paired with a rotating menu of Indian-fusion plates — examples include Chicken Tikka, Seekh Kebab, Chholey Bhaturey, Mushroom Puri and Amritsari Fish & Chips — each plate available for purchase during the service.

THE SETTING

An intimate, off-the-beaten-track cellar door

Nazaaray operates as a working winery rather than a full-service restaurant, giving the tasting a discreet, cellar-door atmosphere that rewards discovery.
