Ben Porat
Founded in 2003 by Ariel Ben Shitrit and his family, the winery began as a modest dream producing 5,000 to 8,000 bottles annually and selling them directly to a circle of devoted patrons.
Two decades later, in 2023, the vision expanded: a permanent home for the winery was established in partnership with an investor from Jerusalem, marking a new era of growth.
