Binyamina Winery was founded in 1952 by Joseph Zeltzer. He immigrated to Israel from Hungary infused with a passion to continue being a winemaker, as he’d been in his country of birth. Zeltzer originally named the winery Eliaz, after his son who fell in battle during Israel’s War of Independence in 1948. He soon began making wine in the center of what was then considered Israel’s official wine region. The site for the factory was chosen because jasmine plants, which were used to manufacture perfume essence, grew abundantly in the area. The factory eventually failed, closing its doors in 1937. Other than its occasional use as a hiding place for members of the Hagana movement, the Jewish underground, the building remained abandoned until the establishment of the State of Israel. At that time, Zeltzer’s longing for a winery to manufacture sweet wines and liqueurs led him to the heart of Binyamina, the hub of Israel’s wine region. Here, with vineyards right on his doorstep, Zeltzer set up his operations in the former perfume factory building with its rich and remarkable history. WInery
