The 5. Germany-Israel Wine Summit of the Twin Wineries Initiative took place in Mainz at the Elector's Palace, Germany, June 15, 2026. The Wine Summit was well attended. "Wine is more than just a treat – wine is an ambassador. Since its founding in 2008, the Twin Wineries Initiative has been connecting renowned wineries from Germany and Israel. The mission: wine as a link between Germany and Israel. Inspired by the idea of classic city partnerships, the Twin Wineries Initiative creates a lively connection between two countries and cultures that share a deep passion for winemaking and enjoying wine. It helps foster new friendships between the people of both countries through the meeting of winemakers and wine lovers. The Foundation: Assemblage of Cultures The initiative is based on the "assemblage" of suitable wineries. Just like when composing a great wine, care is taken in the selection process to ensure that the partner wineries authentically represent their respective regions and complement each other both professionally and personally. The goals are clearly defined • Communication: Promoting intercultural dialogue in a relaxed atmosphere. • Knowledge Transfer: Sharing oenological and viticultural know-how. • Visibility: Increasing the recognition of German wines in Israel and Israeli wines in Germany. Training and Supporting New Talent A key concern of the Twin Wineries is the future of the industry. The initiative specifically promotes young talent through: • Arranging internships for students • Launching young winemaker exchange programs • Hands-on training at partner companies. Living Partnership in Practice The partnerships are strengthened through mutual visits and alternating 'wine summits' in both countries. ..." - Renée Salzman, founder of the Twin Wineries Initiative and Christine Schneider, Secretary of Agriculture, Environmental Protection, Viticulture and Forests of Rheinland-Pfalz. - Eva Raps, German Ambassador of the Twin Wineries Initiative and Tayla Lador-Fresher, Israel's Consul General in Munich, Germany. - Even Julia Klöckner, President of Germany's Federal Parliament sent a greeting message. - More greetings and a warm welcome from Mainz's Mayor Nino Haase. - Discussion: Now More Than Ever - Yes to Friendship - In Conversation with New Twin Partners - Gina Gehring, Gehring Winery, Nierstein & Elad Katz, Agur Winery, Agur - Martin Sturm, Sturm Winery, Leutesdorf & Gal Pauker, Pauker Winery, Nir Oz - Katharina Wechsler, Wechsler Winery, Westhofen & Lital Ovadia, Tel Winery, Sha’al - Moderator Wolfgang Junglas, President FIJEV / Weinfeder e.V. - Discussion: In Search of Terroir - Kann man mit Rebsorten, Anbaumethoden und Kellerarbeit neue Identitäten formen? - Franziska Schätzle, Weingut Schätzle, Kaiserstuhl, Baden - Johannes Hasselbach, Weingut Gunderloch, Roter Hang, Rheinhessen - Dan Sheinman, Tzora Vineyards, Judäisches Bergland, Israel - Hai Vortman, Vortman Winery, Carmel Berge, Israel - Moderator Romana Eschensperger, Master of Wine. Tasting of the wines of the German and Israeli wineries: All wines were very good to outstanding. It's not possible to name them all, I just mention my three favorite wines from three Israeli wineries. - The most elegant wine, Seahorse Winery, 2022 Antoine, Tête de cuvée, a Rhône blend with Syrah as the main grape. (OZ, also a Rhône blend with Cinsault as he main grape, is also excellent.) - The best Bordeaux blend, Margalit Winery, 2020 Enigma with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. - Surprise, surprise, a grape variety I've never haerd of, Yael, ancient, autochthonous variety, first harvest of new plantation, first wine, Barkan Winery, 2023 Yael, Beta Series, excellent.
