About Negev Desert Wine initiative

In recent decades, Negev pioneers planted vineyards and established wineries using thousand-year-old traditions fused with agricultural innovation. Our project promotes the Negev as an international Agritourism destination, and showcases the region’s wine, to promote economic and demographic growth and strengthen the local agricultural sector.

Negev Wine Consortium

Do you own a winery or vineyard in the Negev? Our club was founded to serve you! The Negev Wine Consortium strengthens the connection between Agritourism and wine.

The club’s members are winemakers and vintners in the region, who enjoy business guidance, camaraderie, special events, and professional tours through the consortium.

When ancient tradition meets agricultural innovation in the heart of the desert

How do the enduring challenges of the desert deliver unique wines that earn international recognition?
