A winery tour in Israel
might be a bit difficult to
take right now, so NEXTGen
Detroit, Federation’s young
adult division, brought the
tour to more than 45 young
adults on Aug. 11.
The group gathered at
Dayspace Studio in Royal
Oak and sampled a diverse
collection from multiple
regions in Israel, beginning
with a blind strolling tasting
and finishing with a formal
sitdown pairing.
Wine Guide Sean Sutton
led the tasting and Detroit’s
Shiliach Yiftak Leket
discussed the history of wine
in Israel and shared about
the exciting wine production
happening in Detroit’s
Partnership2Gether Region
in the Central Galilee.
“Thanks to the country’s
range of landscapes
and climates, and rich
agricultural traditions, Israeli
vintners are producing some
of the world’s most delicious
and interesting wines,” said
Hannah Berger, lead staff for
the event.
“We were very excited to
bring this tasting experience
to the NEXTGen Detroit
community, and so glad
everyone enjoyed it.”
