Have you ever wondered how you can create your own vineyard in the heart of Israel? Join me as I sit down with Nadav Jesselson, co-founder of Anava Vineyards, to uncover how this unique initiative allows you to do just that with the guidance of top wine professionals. Nadav shares the captivating story of Anava's mission, taking us through the historical and geographical significance of the Judean Foothills and the meticulous planning that goes into each of his vineyards. From intriguing local legends to personal connections, this episode promises an enriching exploration of wine cultivation and community bonding.
Get ready to be inspired as we chart the journey of Nadav and his team, learning from experts like Drol Dutan and securing prestigious collaborations with high-tier wineries such as Yatir. Discover the emotional and technical aspects of planting 50 dunams of Cabernet and Petit Syrah grapes and how an idea inspired by a friend's visit to Argentina evolved into a remarkable model of vineyard ownership in Israel. Nadav's story is a testament to the power of passion, collaboration, and innovation in the world of winemaking.
We also delve into the broader mission of Anava, emphasizing community collaboration and education. You'll hear about their initial consultations, curated wine tastings, and ambitious plans for a new winery in Kfar Zoharim, a village that supports at-risk youth. Explore the deep connections formed through the cultivation of vineyards and the biblical legacy of wine in the Judean foothills. Through personal stories and the enduring spirit of resilience, this episode highlights the importance of faith, family, and community amidst times of uncertainty.
