Patented Tender Coconut Wine
The first horti winery in Kerala.
Born from a passion for innovation and a deep respect for Kerala's agricultural heritage, River Island Fruit Winery is the realization of a vision nurtured over decades by Mr. Sebastian P. Augustine — farmer, innovator, entrepreneur, and creator of India's pioneering tender coconut wine technology.
At the heart of the winery lies a remarkable achievement: an internationally recognized and Indian-patented process for producing wine from tender coconut, developed by Sebastian Augustine and patented in 2007. Rather than drawing on conventional grape winemaking, his innovation was rooted in the very essence of Kerala — the tender coconut, the state's most iconic symbol. Through years of research, he transformed this humble fruit into a smooth, refreshing, and naturally distinctive wine.
Nestled within the lush orchards of River Island, the winery transforms tender coconut and the finest locally grown fruits into distinctive handcrafted wines — from dragon fruit, banana, and jackfruit to a variety of tropical and exotic fruits. Every bottle reflects the richness of the land and the dedication behind its cultivation.
Welcome to River Island Fruit Winery — where Kerala's tropical bounty is transformed into an unforgettable experience.
