Since the October 7 attack coordinated by Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran, Israel has faced unprecedented social and economic challenges affecting the entire society. One deeply impacted sector is the wine industry. Wineries on the frontlines are losing employees, owners have been called to reserve service, and markets are in crisis, leading to communities being uprooted and the sector thrown into turmoil.
This reception will bring together wineries to share their stories of resilience, highlighting an industry that drives the economy forward by employing thousands of individuals from all faiths and groups in Israel's peripheral regions.
The event will showcase those impacted by the war and tell the story of an industry that has grown from fewer than 20 wineries in the 1980s to 400 today. This thriving industry combines the ancient lands of Israel with modern technologies to revive winemaking.
Experience the true story of identity, culture, courage, and the enduring legacy of Israel's winemaking traditions.
