yù yī - 玉衣 n. the desire to see with fresh eyes, and feel things just as intensely as you did when you were younger - before expectations, before memory, before words. That's what my travelogue is all about.
Wine not?
✈ NASHIK · A VINEYARD WEEKEND
Soma Vineyard Resort is one of the best resorts in Nashik — less commercial than Sula. We road-tripped there, stopping for lunch at Banjaara family restaurant near Nashik on the way. In the evening, we did the vineyard tour and wine tasting.
Wines tasted in the tour
On the tour, she walked us through six different wines and which cheese pairs best with each.

At the resort
Also on-site: an amphitheatre, sheesha, pool, adventure sports, spa and sauna, and a gymnasium, plus complimentary breakfast. The resort also hosts destination weddings. We bought a Rosé and spent the evening poolside.
For a change of scene at dinner, drive to the nearby Seeyona Yacht Resort restaurant.
The next day
Checkout was at 12pm, after which we booked ourselves a spa session — a Balinese massage, a combination of acupressure, massage, and aromatherapy.
Fact
Wine improves with age, we improve with wine.
Tip
Swirling wine does more than make you look cool — it opens the wine up, getting it ready for smell and taste.
