Inside The World’s First Feni Cellar In South Goa
Wednesday Post: Take a tour of the World’s First Feni Cellar, know what is slow travel, explore the postcard town of Cinque Terre in Italy and watch Himalayan tribe Bhotia's way of living
When I say Goa, what's the first thing that comes to your mind?
Today we are not talking about the beachy Goa everyone raves about, but a place where history, culture, and spirits are bottled up—literally. Welcome to the world's first feni cellar. Yes, you heard that right— the brainchild of Cazulo Feni.
When feni-maker Mac Vaz, founder of Cazulo, decided to create this one-of-a-kind cellar, his vision was simple yet revolutionary - to offer a tribute to the centuries-old craft of making feni, an art that's as Goan as the susegad way of life
So what’s the big deal about feni? If you think it’s just another drink, think again.
Legend has it that cashew feni traces its roots back to the 16th century when the Portuguese brought cashew trees to Goa. The locals figured out that the cashew fruit wasn’t just for snacking—it could be fermented into this potent, heady spirit. Fast forward a few hundred years, and here we are, standing in the world’s first feni cellar, where this golden liquid is celebrated like royalty.
Time’s gone when we continue misunderstanding an iconic drink like Feni. Whether you’re a connoisseur or someone just curious about what Goa really tastes like beyond the beaches, this Feni cellar is your backstage pass to Goa’s soul. It’s not about drinking feni—it’s about savoring the very essence of this land, one glass at a time.
Are you ready to explore Goa in a new avatar this time?

🗺️ Destination of the Week: Cinque Terre, Italy
Ever heard of Cinque Terre in Italy? Even if not heard of it, you must have seen it in your Instagram reels. Welcome to Cinque Terre, Italy—a cluster of five postcard-perfect villages clinging to the rugged cliffs of the Ligurian coast, where time seems to slow down just for you.
But wait, Cinque Terre isn’t just your regular Italian getaway. Each village—Monterosso al Mare with the best beaches, Vernazza with its picturesque harbor and charming piazzas, Corniglia’s stunning panoramic views, Manarola’s candy-colored houses, and Riomaggiore’s narrow streets winding down to the sea—feels like its own little secret. They’re connected by ancient footpaths and charming trains, but it’s the sense of discovery that draws you in.
Want to hear something wild? For centuries, these villages were so isolated that their residents only knew the world beyond their shores through the sea. It’s no wonder Cinque Terre feels like stepping into a world preserved in time.
If you are a foodie, then be prepared to live with the fact that Cinque Terre is pesto heaven. This is the birthplace of pesto Genovese—the vibrant, green sauce made from fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan, and olive oil, traditionally pounded by hand.
Whether you’re hiking the coastal trails, sipping wine with locals, or simply soaking in the sun-drenched magic of the villages, you’ll realize Cinque Terre isn’t just a destination—it’s an experience that stays with you, long after you’ve left its shores.
