Mumbai’s Ultimate Weekend Plan: The WineOut 2025 Returns to Bandra! (Sip, Stomp & Party)

Let’s be honest for a second. We work hard. Between the local train crush, the Western Express Highway traffic, and the endless Zoom calls, we deserve a break. And not just a "Netflix and Chill" break, but a proper "Dress up, go out, and feel good" kind of weekend.

Well, I have some fantastic news. If you’ve been waiting for that perfect "Winter in Mumbai" plan (you know, when the temperature drops to a pleasant 24°C), mark your calendars for November 22nd and 23rd, 2025.

The WineOut 2025 is coming back to Bandra, and trust me, this is going to be the "it" event of the season. Whether you are a total wine pro who swirls their glass or someone who just wants a fun evening with friends, this festival is for you.

Wait, What Exactly is The WineOut?

Think of it as a giant, glamorous mela for adults—but with premium wine, amazing food, and live music instead of giant wheels and candy floss! 🍷✨

Organized by the Wine Growers Association of India (WineGAI), the first edition in February was a massive hit. Now, they are back with the second edition at the D'Monte Park Recreation Club, and it’s promising to be bigger and bolder.

The best part? It’s designed to break the myth that wine festivals are "stiff" or "boring." Nope. This is a high-energy, fun, and trendy festival where you can let your hair down.

Desi Wines Meet Videshi Vibes: What’s on the Menu?

You know how we Indians love variety? The WineOut gets it. They are bringing all the big guns under one roof. You won’t have to drive all the way to Nashik to taste your favorites.

• The Indian Legends: You’ll find stalls from Sula Vineyards, Fratelli, Grover Zampa, Good Drop Wine Cellars, and more.

• Something New: Watch out for Moonshine Meadery (honey wine—it’s delicious!) and Reveilo Wines.

The Big Highlight: The Australian Wine Pavilion. This serves as the cherry on top! For this edition, they have set up an exclusive Australian Wine Pavilion. It’s a rare chance to taste premium imported wines without buying a flight ticket to Melbourne. Perfect for impressing your date with some global wine knowledge!

More Than Just Drinking: The "Grape Stomp" Experience

You’ve seen it in movies, right? People jumping into barrels of grapes and dancing?

Yes, Grape Stomping is happening! It is hands-down the most "Insta-worthy" moment of the festival. It’s messy, it’s hilarious, and it’s incredibly fun. Grab your partner or your gang, roll up your trousers, and jump in. It connects you to the ancient way of making wine—but mostly, it’s just a great photo op! 📸

Food, Music & Shopping (Because We Need "Chakhna"!)

What is wine without good food? The festival has curated gourmet food stalls that go way beyond your standard fries. From artisanal cheeses to spicy Indian fusion that pairs perfectly with a glass of Red, your tastebuds are in for a treat.

Plus, there’s a Flea Market (shopping + wine = dangerous but fun combo!) and high-energy Live Music all day long. It’s the perfect "Sundowner" vibe—starting in the afternoon and partying into the evening.

Why You Should Go?

Look, I’ll tell you like a friend. Usually, these "premium" experiences in Mumbai cost a bomb. But at ₹499, getting access to top brands, music, and this kind of ambiance is a steal (Paisa Vasool deal!). It doesn’t matter if you don’t know the difference between a Shiraz and a Sauvignon Blanc. The vibe is welcoming, the crowd is diverse (lots of young folks, women-friendly groups), and it’s just a happy, positive space to celebrate the weekend.

So, call your friends, make that WhatsApp group plan (that actually happens), and get ready to Sip, Stomp, and Celebrate!

Aapke Sawal, Hamare Jawab! (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q1. What is the ticket price for The WineOut Bandra 2025 and where can I book them? Ans: Tickets for The WineOut 2025 start at a very pocket-friendly ₹499. You can book them online exclusively through the District app (formerly Insider). We highly recommend booking early because events at D'Monte Park often sell out quickly due to high demand in Mumbai.

Q2. Is The WineOut festival suitable for beginners who don't know much about wine? Ans: Absolutely! You don’t need to be a "sommelier" or expert to enjoy this. The festival is designed specifically to make wine culture fun and accessible for everyone. There are beginner-friendly masterclasses, and the brand representatives at stalls like Sula and Fratelli are super helpful in explaining the different tastes (sweet, dry, fruity) in simple language.

Q3. Are there vegetarian and non-vegetarian food options available at the venue? Ans: Yes, The WineOut is a complete food and drink experience. The festival features curated gourmet food stalls offering both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. From cheese platters (the classic wine pairing!) to spicy Indian fusion and finger foods (chakhna), there is plenty to eat while you sip your drinks.

Q4. Is grape stomping included in the festival experience and do I need to bring extra clothes? Ans: Yes, Grape Stomping is a major highlight of the event! It is a fun, messy activity where you jump into barrels of grapes. While you don't strictly need extra clothes, it is smart to wear comfortable clothing (shorts or easy-to-roll trousers) that you don't mind getting a little grape juice on. It’s a perfect photo opportunity for your Instagram!

Q5. Is The WineOut 2025 a kid-friendly event or is it for adults only? Ans: The festival permits entry for guests aged 12 years and above. However, please note that alcohol service is strictly restricted to those of Legal Drinking Age (LDA) with valid ID proof. The vibe is generally "Sundowner Party," making it ideal for couples, friend groups, and office colleagues looking to unwind.

Q6. What is the best time to visit the festival to avoid the crowd? Ans: The festival runs from afternoon to evening on November 22nd and 23rd. For a more relaxed experience where you can chat with winemakers and stomp grapes without a long queue, we suggest arriving early in the afternoon (around 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM). If you prefer a party vibe with live music and a bustling crowd, the evening slots after sunset are perfect for you.
