Twenty years ago, the Grovers took on the onerous task of reviving wine drinking in India. Grovers, together with Mr. Georges Vesselle, the then Technical Director of Vineyards of Champagne Mumm and a producer of Champagne and Bouzy Rouge under his own label accepted the immense challenge of growing for the first time French varieties of grapes suitable for wine production in India.

Bangalore, with the ideal combination of rich, well drained soil, warm sunny days, cool nights and temperate climate, was finally selected over six other places as the most suitable site. Thirty-five important varieties used in France for making wine were planted. In the next five years there was an invasion of French oenologists to study their adaptability to Indian conditions, as well as to assess the quality of wine they would ultimately produce.

In 1988, Grover Vineyards was established on 40 acres of land at the foot of the Nandi Hills. Here nine varieties that responded well to Indian conditions were planted on an industrial scale. Today, Grover Vineyards has over 200 acres under plantation. Unlike other wine makers in India today, Grover Vineyards is the only company that shuns ordinary table grapes, while exclusively using only French wine grapes, selected from the original thirty-five varieties of the Vitis Vinifera species.

Mr. Kanwal Grover with Mr. Michel Rolland
In 1995, the project sufficiently attracted the attention of the world-renowned oenologist, Michel Rolland, to offer his expertise to the Indian venture. His expertise in wine making sees him as ‘consultant oenologist' to over 100 companies all around Europe, South and North America and Asia. In India, Rolland is affiliated exclusively with Grover Vineyards.

In 1996, the world's leading champagne house, Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin, of France took a stake in Grover Vineyards. They extend their technical support to Grover Vineyards through their wineries in Australia and New Zealand.
