Last year saw its return but in a slightly subdued manner with over 12000 people, nevertheless enjoying its return. There was speculation that it would be held every two years from now on. But during my visit to Sula, <strong>Gorakh Gaekwad<\/strong>, current COO of Sula Vineyards affirmed that it would be held but hesitated to give the exact dates before informing the stock exchange.<\/p><p>Although SulaFest has traditionally been organised on the first weekend of February and in fact, the similar dates were indicated as Arora could tell by reading his lips, the firm date has recently been officially announced as 31 January-1 February, 2026. Visitors can now firm arrangements for stay and if travelling from different parts of India, can also make airline bookings too.<\/p><p>Direct Flights are available to Nashik, landing at the HAL Airport, an hour from The Source Resort at Sula. Plenty of new hotels and resorts have come up in recent times, all the way to the swanky \u2018Beyond by Sula\u2019 Resort and room availability is much easier now with plenty of choices available.<\/p><p><strong>Also Read : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianwineacademy.com\/articles\/item_5_956\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #990000;\">SulaFest back at Sula in February 2025 after 5-year Gap<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p><p>SulaFest 2026 is set to elevate the festival to a new high, according to the organisers.
