The ninth edition of SulaFest firms up its reputation for serious fun even further with more than a hundred international and Indian artists from 23 coun­tries other than India performing in over 25 genres&mdashand in case you are still counting, they have 30 gourmet food and beverage options lined up as well. No wonder they also call it the Gourmet World Music Festival, set in Sula&rsquos idyllic vineyards, complete with their own open air, Greek-style amphitheatre(6-7 February one day pass from â¹2,200 sulafest.net).
Not to be outdone, the Great Grover Wine Festival returns down south in its second edition with an eclectic lineup of wine (grape stomping too), the best of Bengalurean music, stand-up acts, karaoke singing, shopping at a flea market, and a sculpture and art gallery, quite apart from best of food and wine (6 February, 1pm-10pm early bird tickets from â¹1,100 groverwinefestival.com).
