The-state-of-the-art winery is located at Vinchur park in Nashik and powered by equipment imported from Italy. The winery has a sizeable capacity of 9 lakh liters.

Chill on a summer afternoon with an ice cold Rio Spritzer or kick start the party with the heady Rio Strong. Mix it with fun, friends or have it on your own - straight from the bottle. Our young, vibrant and in-your-face Rio does just that by adding the cool quotient.
