Description

Recent archeological evidence definitively dates viticulture in the area now known as Israel back 13,000 years. Israel offers wines and storytelling like no other region. While geopolitically the Middle East, Israel is physically and climatically the Eastern Mediterranean. Whether it's wines made from the same biblical era grapes that Moses and Jesus would have drank, thriving Mediterranean varieties or Bordeaux blends as homage to Baron Edmond de Rothschild's revitalization of the modern Israeli wine industry in the late 1800's, Israel has the wine and moreover the stories (such as making the desert bloom) to delight and boost revenue. You'll taste through delicious expressions and learn how to make money for your operation with Israeli wines.
