Karnataka Wine Board to integrate wine tours into popular package tours

KWB MD says, the role of the board is well-defined in the new Karnataka Tourism Policy as far as promoting gastronomic tourism packages and wine tourism in the country was concerned.

The Karnataka Wine Board (KWB), the only dedicated wine board in any state of the country, will try to integrate vineyard visits into popular tour packages operated by the Karnataka Tourism Development Corporation, as part of its marketing and promotion activities.

According to Somu T, managing director of KWB, the role of the board is well-defined in the new Karnataka Tourism Policy as far as promoting gastronomic tourism packages and wine tourism in the country was concerned.
The Karnataka Wine Board is attempting to integrate vineyard visits into popular tour packages operated by the Karnataka Tourism Development Corporation.

Somu said that the state has huge untapped potential for wine tourism which is largely unexplored so far. Citing the kind of tourism revenues that wine regions like the Napa Valley of California generate, which far exceeds the revenue from the production and marketing of their wines, Somu said that the attempt of the KWB is also to make wine tourism a key activity of the Board.

Sarvesh Kumar, general manager of the KWB said that they are encouraging wine tours, an important aspect of the package tours which KTDC operate between Bengaluru - Mysore, Bengaluru - Hampi; Bengaluru - Nandi Hills, Bengaluru - Tirupati, among others.

He said that a lot of foreign tourists visit the heritage centres of the State like Hampi and Badami and there are a number of vineyards around these destinations which can be integrated into the packages.

While Big Banyan Tree winery near Bengaluru offers accommodation facilities, Kumar said that a lot of wineries like Sula and Grover offer day tours.

The KWB officials said that the effort of the board is to expand the grape cultivation to non-traditional areas like Sakleshpur in the Western Ghats.

KWB participated in the maiden VinExpo, a wine and spirit expo, in Delhi which concluded last week.

Brand Hilton | The Wakao Food Fest brings a unique Menu across Hilton properties

India, August 2021- Inspired by the growing appetite among consumers for sustainable and naturally available alternatives to animal-based meat, Hilton India, in partnership with Wakao Foods, has put up a sustainable food showcase for guests. The exciting food festival - 'The Wakao Fest,' aims at offering an unforgettable dining experience through an exquisite menu with jackfruit as the core ingredient. The innovative food menu will be available across dining outlets at Hilton properties in the country. 

Commenting on the association, Mr. Prashant Kulkarni, Director F&B, India-Hilton said, “At Hilton F&B, we wanted to keep innovation, sustainability, and deliciousness at the front and center of the creative process, and we challenged our Chefs to take Jackfruit, the humblest of ingredients, and come up with a menu which will excite and intrigue the palate. With Wakao we have been able to do just that. Wakao is an expression that perfectly captures the flavourful twist of our dishes as well as the guests' reaction when they dine at any of our Hilton outlets." 

"The shift towards plant-based alternatives is the most dominant trend of 2021 triggered by the growing consciousness about mindful and healthy eating. The Wakao Fest explores unique dishes that are sustainable to serve and bring guest delight.” Prashant added.

With the joint vision of placing jackfruit as a sustainably sourced plant-based meat substitute, the collaboration between Hilton and Wakao Foods aims at supporting local producers and products, as well as bringing plant-based alternatives prominently to the food and beverage scene in India. A sustainable crop, sourced locally, which does not need irrigation, pesticides/herbicides, Jackfruit can be intergrown with other crops to create a regenerative ecosystem. 

Sairaj Dhond, Founder & CEO Wakao Foods said, "As the world looks at more plant-based alternatives, which are healthier and more sustainable options, there is a growing interest in meatless meals off late. The versatile and indigenously grown jackfruit is bursting onto the scene and finding itself being used more often. The pop-up, therefore, explores the versatility of the humble jackfruit, which is considered a superfood but needs to be more relevant across the cuisine culture of the country." 

“It is a great honor to be associated with an international brand like the Hilton, so early in our life cycle. These kinds of platforms and collaborations give brands and start-ups like ours a fillip to take our efforts to more people and educate the consumer as well. The collaboration brings Hilton’s culinary expertise to one of our most loved indigenous products - Jackfruit.” Added Sairaj.

The artisanal menu at The Wakao Fest has been curated by the culinary experts at Hilton to offer multiple cuisines and gourmet delights comprising starters, main course and desserts, by leveraging the versatility and richly layered flavors and textures of the Jackfruit. Guests can sample dishes like Faux Pao, The Wakao Krapow, Parmesan Polenta, and “Bar of Bliss” and much more during this festival across the FnB outlets at @SAIPE at Hilton Goa, Coriander Kitchen at Conrad Pune, The Amber Kitchen at DoubleTree by Hilton Jaipur Amer,Terazzo at Hilton Shillim Estate Retreat & Spa to name a few. The festival will be celebrated from August to November 2021 across Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Goa, Bangalore, Chennai, Lucknow, Agra, Jaipur and Trivandrum.

Brand | Prasuma Momos to expand to 140 cities by Mar 2022

Over the next five years, the ready-to-eat momo brand is eying revenues to the tune of INR 350 to 400 crore.

Prasuma Momos is gearing up to expand its presence to 140 cities by March 2022 and then to 200 cities by the end of next year. Their signature momos are currently available across 2,500 stores and the company plans to increase it to 25,000 stores in the next two years.

Prasuma Momos has witnessed incremental growth in sales on a month-on-month basis backed by its diversification into new geographies and the launch of newer product variants. The company is further planning to strengthen its product portfolio with the launch of new variants of veg and non-veg Momos.

“We are set to launch three new Momos next month including Cheesy Spicy Veg, Mutton, and Desi Chicken. Each of our variants can be traced back to a cherished family recipe or a cherished memory. For instance, our new Desi Mutton Momos are based on recipes from the tranquil hills of India, bursting with spicy mustard oil and more,” Lisa Suwal, CGO (Chief Growth Officer) of Prasuma said

The company works in a B2B model and only receives orders from distributors and modern retail chains/ecom platforms. The products are present across 40 cities and can be availed at Meatigo.com. Prasuma has also partnered with several companies including Nature’s Basket, Walmart, and Bigbasket among others. “Currently, our products are present across 40 cities but a major chunk of our business comes from the top 12 metro cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Bangalore,” Suwal informed.

The sudden boom in the popularity of Prasuma Momos can be attributed to the lockdown. According to Suwal, the lockdown has reshaped consumer behavior, encouraging individuals to try new flavors and adopt different food items. It has also shifted the focus towards health and safety. Consumers are more cautious than ever before about the quality of food they eat, the process that goes into making it, and the ingredients used to make it, she feels.

New Launch | Lo! Foods forays into Diabetic Food Market

The products are affordably priced and are available for consumers on Lo! Foods website and on e-commerce platforms.

Lo! Foods, a Bengaluru-based FMCG startup that offers a range of Low-Carb and Keto friendly packaged products announced its entry into the diabetic food market with the launch of a range of diabetic-friendly Low-Carb, and Sugar-free food products. The products are affordably priced and are available for consumers on Lo! Foods website and on e-commerce platforms.

The new range has been designed keeping in mind the nutritional requirements of diabetics. Curated by Lo! Foods’ in-house nutritionist Vibhuti Jain, the products are Low-Carb, sugar-free, Maida free and is 50% lower in glycemic index. The products have been tested using Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) and Blood sugar meters. Recommended by dietitians, the new product range offers a tasty yet healthy alternative to manage diabetes better. In addition to the new diabetic-friendly products, Lo! Foods have an existing range of sugar-free chocolates.

As per a 2019 report by International Diabetes Federation, India is home to 77 million diabetics. Considered as the diabetes capital of the world, the report indicates that over the next 25 years, India will have close to 134 million diabetics. There has been an alarming increase in the prevalence of diabetes in India. One of the reasons behind this modern epidemic is the change in our lifestyles and food habits. Lack of physical activity and a diet rich in carbohydrates and sugar are some of the reasons behind the increase in the prevalence of the disease. A healthy diet followed by regular exercise can help curb the risk of developing diabetes. One of the ways to impact the health of millions is by creating a range of everyday food products that Indians are used to eating, but low-carb, healthier, and just as tasty. This was the genesis behind Lo! Food diabetic range.

Commenting on the new launch, Sudarshan Gangrade, Founder, Lo! Foods, said “The demand for diabetic-friendly consumables has seen a sharp increase in the last few years on account of growing awareness about managing diabetes and the rising prevalence of the disease. However, the current diabetic-friendly food alternatives available in the market are not the most ideal substitutes for a healthier diabetes diet. At Lo! Foods, we have created a range of products that are 50% lower in GI with a direct impact on the day-to-day health of diabetics. We have also ensured that our products are high on taste which makes it easier for them to transition to a healthier diet. In addition to diabetics, we also plan to target consumers in the pre-diabetic stage and empower them to make the right food choices.”

PRODUCT | Tesla' burgers arriving as Elon Musk's EV firm plans restaurant chain

Elon Musk is gearing up to launch his own drive-in food chain at Supercharger locations as his electric car company Tesla has applied for a new trademark for its brand under restaurant services.

According to a report in Electrek, the company has applied for three new trademarks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office that will cover the categories of "Restaurant services, pop-up restaurant services, self-service restaurant services, take-out restaurant services".

"The application is awaiting examination and will be reviewed by an attorney around August 27," the report said on Tuesday.

Tesla's iconic 'T' logo is featured on the application, to be trademarked for use by its branded restaurants.

Way back in 2017, then Tesla CTO JB Straubel had said that the company might move into the restaurant business.

In 2018, Musk said in a tweet: "Gonna put an old school drive-in, roller skates & rock restaurant at one of the new Tesla Supercharger locations in LA".

A few months later, Tesla applied for building permits for -- restaurant and Supercharger station -- at a location in Santa Monica in the US.

The project went into cold storage for about three years and now, a new building application has been submitted earlier this year.

The new development probably means that the company plans for a 'Tesla' branded restaurant chain.

With more than 25,000 Superchargers, Tesla owns and operates the largest global, fast charging network in the world, located on major routes near convenient amenities.

PRODUCT | Roastery Coffee introduces a new range of Specialty Coffees from 2021 Harvest

Roastery Coffee, one of the leading artisanal specialty coffee brands in India, has introduced coffees from Salawara Estate and Tribe- O- Project from 2021 harvest, for all the “coffeeholics”. 

The brand is excited to have collaborated with Salawara Estate as its new partner farm this year. Salawara literally means “a string of blessings”. Located in the lush foothills of India’s Western Ghats near Sakleshpur in Belur region, this estate is spread over 145 hectares. Established by the Britishers in the late 1880s. The coffee crop from the Salawara estate is successfully inter-cropped with pepper, Areca nut, oranges, and silver oak trees which brings in the perfect balance of richness and heritage. The two variants of Salwara Estate Coffee available at Roastery Coffee are “Yeast Fermented” in Tasting Notes of Apple, Sugarcane and Green Apple and “Carbonic Marceration” in Tasting Notes of Candied Apple, Tangerine and Hibiscus.

The other newly launched coffee by Roastery Coffee is the wild-grown coffee from the Tribe-O-Project. Tribe-O Koraput Coffee is unique for being semi-wild, growing in the forests of Koraput, Odisha at 1000 MSL, instead of well-organized estates or plots of land. It is grown in the forested hills of Koraput, where the tribal farmers do not own the forest land but have permission to harvest the coffee cherries from it. The forests where the coffee plants grow are dense and the plants grow far apart from another in the natural foliage. This makes it challenging to pick the ripe coffee cherries and the process is slow and laborious. Tribe-O Koraput Coffee farming is an agricultural activity carried out mostly by the women in the tribal villages of Koraput.  The brand is proud to be a part of Tribe-O-Project’s journey to make coffee farming more commercially relevant to the indigenous peoples of Koraput, while retaining their age-old tradition of living in harmony with nature. With notes of Gooseberry, Cacao and Black Tea, the coffee has a unique and interesting flavor.

So now you can enjoy these newly launched specialty coffees either by visiting Roastery Coffee House in Hyderabad and Kolkata or by ordering online for brewing pleasure at home.

For placing the orders, please visit www.roasterycoffee.co.in

Pricing: Salawara Estate Rs 470 onwards

Tribe-O-Project Rs 400 onwards
