Rico wine is a unique and complex activity, and each winemaker’s method influences the organic process. The inspiring story of Rico Wine Park and Vineyards begins with Dr. Basavaraj, a visionary gardener whose love of wine-making emerged from his training in horticulture. He received his PhD in Horticulture Science from Texas A&M University in the United States and founded Rico Wines with the deeply held conviction that “Wine is all Heart.”
Adhering to the above philosophy, Rico Wines has meticulously produced wines that expertly combine elegance and approachability, appealing to seasoned experts and nascent fans. Just 14 kilometres away from the famous city of Vijayapur (Bijapur), in the heart of the gorgeous Krishna Valley, Rico Wines relishes the peaceful embrace of its natural surroundings.
