About a mile beyond the Sula vineyard, this small family-run place is a nice quiet weekend getaway if you are from Mumbai, Pune or Nashik. It overlooks a lovely lake with hills in the background. The twin-bed cottages are tastefully designed with a rustic look but have all basic amenities. No TV or internet though, but your mobile data will work well enough. The food is decent, but you will have to order it beforehand, as it is home-cooked. If you want restaurant stuff, the York Winery and the Sula Vineyard are just next door, and you can sample their trademark products along with your dal-roti or biryani. The owner of Utopia, Mr. Adwait, looks after things himself. He is very friendly and enjoys chatting with you, if you are so inclined. One drawback is that there is no place for your chauffeur and his car, who have to lodge at Hira Resort a mile and a half up the road. Also pets are not allowed.

While most of the vineyards & breweries in Nashik are over crowded & teeming with over-enthusiastic youngsters, Utopia Farmstay offers calm, quiet and absolutely serene vacation away from all the hustle & bustle. There are 10 cottages with double beds, each with a provision of an additional guest and at an extremely reasonable price. Once you check-in, leave your care to the hosts cum owners Uttara & Adwait and then lap up the nature with two hands. Home cooked food made from their farm produce, antique doors & furnitures in every cottage and the lovely stories of Adwait & Uttara really transports you to a earthy vacation. I loved it and would visit again shortly.
