Mr. Rajeev Parikh – Director

Mr. Parikh’s passion for wine started when his attorney and close friend, Jake Sobotka introduced him to the finest bottle of Red he had tasted. Under Jake’s guidance, Rajeev took a trip to Napa Valley and his fascination of the wine culture was heightened. Trying wine straight from the barrels aged years and years enticed his taste buds beyond expectation. That was the start of a beautiful, long lasting relationship with Wine.

When Rajeev visited India three years ago, he noticed people gradually migrating towards wine more and more. However, consumers lacked the proper education and etiquette that goes hand in hand with true wine appreciation. This inspired him to give birth to Grape to Glass. The idea was to introduce a new age wine culture in India including educating, creating a deeper understanding and appreciation for wine through products, accessories, training and etiquette.

Rajeev is a Certified Wine Specialist. He is an entrepreneur in the true sense and has been in the hospitality industry for over 30 years in California. He resides in Los Angeles but spends a major part of his time in Mumbai these days.
