About Us

Wine on the Vine is a nonprofit initiative of The Israel Innovation Fund. We connect people around the world to Israel by planting grapevines in Israeli vineyards. Each vine planted helps support Israeli farmers, winemakers, and the land of Israel itself.

Wine on the Vine: Replanting the Roots of Zionism

šŸ‡ Why Wine on the Vine Exists

  • • A New Face for Zionism
    Launched in 2017, Wine on the Vine was created by the Israel Innovation Fund (TIIF) to reboot Zionism for the 21st century. It offers a fresh, cultural way to connect to Israel—especially for the next generation—outside the traditional frameworks of politics or religion.
  • • From Trees to Vines
    Inspired by the tradition of planting trees in Israel, Wine on the Vine instead turns to grapevines—symbols of deep roots, growth, creativity, and continuity. The vine ties biblical legacy to modern Israeli innovation, technology, agriculture, and, of course, world-class wine.
  • • Cultural Rebranding
    TIIF made Wine on the Vine its flagship initiative to transform how the world engages with Israel, not through conflict, but through culture. Wine becomes a new language of Zionism—personal, meaningful, and deeply rooted in the culture.

🌱 How It Works and Grows

  1. Plant Your Vine
    Anyone around the world can symbolically plant a grapevine at a top Israeli winery. You receive a digital certificate and message, and your name takes root in Israeli soil.
  2. Cultural Connection & Events
    WOTV hosts global wine tastings, vineyard tours, and ā€œJaffa Nightsā€ events worldwide. It also launched Wine with Adam, a video series in which TIIF CEO Adam Scott interviews leading Zionist thinkers—such as Natan Sharansky and Gil Troy—while sharing a bottle of Israeli wine.
  3. Building the Wine Economy
    Wine on the Vine plays a vital economic role by supporting Israeli wineries, farmers, and the broader agricultural sector. From north to south, planting vines strengthens both the land and the livelihoods that depend on it.

šŸŽÆ Why It Matters

  • • Planting Culture, Not Just Crops
    As Bellos puts it, wine is ā€œa modern expression of our ancient tradition… the deepest part of our culture.ā€ Planting vineyards is a declaration: we are still here, and we are still growing. By 2019, more than 4,000 vines had already been planted through the platform.
  • • Zionism Made Personal
    Wine on the Vine offers a non-political, non-religious way to engage with Israel. You don’t need to live there—you can plant a vine, order a bottle, or attend an event and feel just as connected.
  • • Direct Economic Impact
    Every bottle purchased and every vine planted supports Israeli businesses, farmers, and the land itself. It’s a direct line from your hands to Israel’s soil.
