From the heart of Holland to the vineyards of Israel, join us as we explore the remarkable journey of Vered Ben-Saadon. Born to a non-Jewish mother and Jewish father, Verid’s path led her to make Aliyah and to convert to Judaism, driven by her family's sincere passion for the land and the Jewish faith. Alongside her husband, Erez, Vered founded Tura Winery in 2003 amidst the chaos of the Second Intifada. We uncover the motivations behind their decision to plant vineyards on Mount Gerizim and how their pioneering spirit helped transform the region into a vibrant community.

In our conversation, Vered opens up about blending family with business and shares insights for young women aspiring to break into the wine industry, stressing the importance of passion, love, and faith. The discussion highlights the deep-rooted historical and biblical significance that inspires their work. We celebrate the international recognition of Israeli wines and the validation that comes with awards and personal milestones.

As we conclude, we delve into a poignant tale of resilience and honor. Vered recounts her touching Independence Day tribute with her mother, a Holocaust survivor, and reflects on the legacy of strength passed down through generations. We explore the artistry behind their wines, from a crisp Sauvignon Blanc to a rich blend of Cabernet, Merlot, and Petit Verdot, emphasizing the importance of balance in winemaking.
