Start with a relaxed lunch: if you arrive midday, head to Sula Vineyards' on-site bistro (book ahead) for a light Italian/Mediterranean meal among the vines; otherwise choose a local thali to sample Maharashtrian flavors like aamti and bhakri.
Guided vineyard walk and wine tasting at Sula — see the winery, learn winemaking basics and taste local wines; tours typically run between 11:00–17:00 but timings vary so book a slot in advance.
Drive to Pandavleni Caves for panoramic views over Nashik; the rock-cut Buddhist caves and the hilltop viewpoint are ideal for sunset photos (site generally open ~06:00–18:00).
Walk along the Godavari riverfront in Panchavati, visit Ramkund and take in the evening atmosphere; if timing aligns you may see a small aarti — confirm locally.
Finish the day with a hearty dinner: choose a popular buffet like Barbeque Nation (grill & veg/non-veg options) or a recommended local Maharashtrian restaurant for regional dishes.
Visit the ancient Trimbakeshwar Shiva temple (one of the 12 Jyotirlingas) for morning darshan and puja; temple hours are typically early morning through late evening (often ~04:00–22:00) but can vary — confirm timings and special holiday schedules in advance.
Walk to Kushavarta — the sacred gorge where the Godavari originates — and climb to viewpoints on Brahmagiri for spiritual significance and sweeping valley views; allow time for a gentle 30–60 minute walk/trek.
If you have energy, attempt a short trek on nearby trails (Anjaneri area is famous for a longer trek) or browse pilgrimage-market stalls selling puja items and local snacks; check trail conditions and weather before heading out.
Head back to Nashik and enjoy a relaxed lunch — pick a local thali restaurant for regional dishes or return to Sula's restaurant if you prefer a vineyard setting (reserve if returning mid-day).
Use the afternoon to pick up bottles from Sula's wine shop, visit the Sula Tasting Room (if missed Day 1), or relax/pack at your hotel before departure; adjust based on your travel schedule.
Have an early dinner in Nashik (light meal or snack) and prepare for onward travel — if leaving the same evening, aim to reach your transport checkpoint with ample buffer time.
