After many years of investment and active involvement to assist Israel’s periphery (particularly in the fields of education and tourism), the Pinto family has set a goal to show that the very best products and the most added value can also come from desert agriculture in the Negev.
Passionate as we are about wine, we recently founded the Pinto Negev Winery, which symbolizes our long-term commitment to the Negev desert and to the town of Yeruham.”
The Family, in partnership with local growers, planted a large vineyard next to the city of Yeruham, with grape varieties most suited to the desert terroir. The spectacular Yeruham Vineyard, located on Wadi ‘Shualim’ (foxes) aspires to show the advantages and uniqueness of this terroir
Committed to uncompromising quality, we brought in as our Chief Winemaker Ya’acov Oryah, one of the leading winemakers in Israel, with a mission to produce – precisely from the desert! – some of the finest wines in the country
Our new state-of-the-art winery facility and visitor experience will be soon built in Yeruham.
