A private Israeli winery based in the occupied West Bank.
Psagot Winery is the largest settlement winery in the occupied West Bank, producing around 750,000 bottles a year.
The winery is based in the Sha’ar Binyamin Industrial Zone in the Mateh Binyamin Regional Council in the occupied West Bank. The winery site includes a wine production plant, a wine cellar, and a visitor center. The winery offers tours, hosts events, conferences, and seminars, and operates a wine shop, café, and nursery.
Psagot wines are made from grapes sourced from several vineyards in the settlements of Psagot, Har Bracha, Elon Moreh and the Kida outpost, most of which were planted on privately owned Palestinian land.
The winery markets its wines labeled as "Made in Israel."
Settlements Vineyards
Psagot Winery was established in 2003 by Yaakov Berg in the settlement of Psagot on lands belonging to the Palestinian city of Al-Bireh in the occupied West Bank. In 2020, the winery relocated from Psagot to the Sha’ar Binyamin settlement Industrial Zone in the Mateh Binyamin settlement Regional Council. The winery was initially based on vineyards located around the settlement of Psagot, which were planted on private land belonging to the residents of Al-Bireh, who were denied access to their land by an electric fence illegally built around the settlement and repeated settler violence. According to "Kerem Navot" organization, the Berg family took over 84 dunams of private Palestinian land, which belonged to the residents of Al-Bireh and used it for some of its vineyards. The family received water allocations for these areas at reduced prices, and with the infrastructure of the Mekorot company.
