Binyamina Winery, established in 1952 by Joseph Zeltzer, has a rich history rooted in passion and resilience. Zeltzer, a Hungarian immigrant, named the winery Eliaz in honor of his son who lost his life during Israel’s War of Independence in 1948. Initially, the winery focused on sweet wines, simple table wines, and liqueurs, using grapes exclusively from the Carmel region.
