TRAVEL
There was a time I loved traveling, both around the world and across India. I've travelled in the 'golden years' ... nostalgic words a Virgin cabin crew on a flight to London recently said when she heard that I first visited the UK in 1989, and almost a 100 times after. While going around the globe has been most beautiful, travelling the length & breadth of India is by far my favourite, absolutely fascinating. While a number of my travels have gone undocumented on the blog, there are still quite a few here. I am forever grateful for the experience.

Visit to the Four Seasons Winery, Baramati, Pune, India
Four Seasons flew a group of food bloggers down to Pune to experience their winery in Baramati, Western India. With the weather beginning to get warm, the winery was at the height of the harvest season, with crushing and fermentation underway. A short flight away from New Delhi, seamless organisation and good communication meant that the experience from word go was good.
