Sip the Future: An Evening with Shira Granot and the Israel Wine Collection
Join Shira Granot, founder of the Israel Wine Collection, for an immersive journey into the heart of Israel’s thriving wine culture. This experience celebrates the country’s pioneering spirit—where ancient winemaking traditions meet modern innovation and sustainability.
Located in one of the most arid regions on Earth, Israel’s vineyards—especially those flourishing in the Negev Desert—are rewriting the narrative of climate adaptation. Through cutting-edge techniques like drip irrigation and climate monitoring, paired with a rediscovery of ancient grape cultivars and traditional farming methods, Israeli winemakers are transforming challenges into opportunities.
Discover how Israel’s wine industry has become a living example of resilience and creativity, offering valuable insights for sustainable agriculture worldwide. This “wine diplomacy” event pairs exquisite tastings with stories that connect people, cultures, and ideas—one glass at a time.
This event is brought to you through a partnership between Connecting Cultures for Peace and the Tampa-Ashdod Sister Cities Committee.
