TERRA UMA association was founded by Tomer Weinberg, who suffered from post-trauma following an injury in the Second Lebanon War. The association, accompanied by senior winemakers in the country, serves as a therapeutic tool for post-trauma victims against the backdrop of combat while providing them with training in the winemaking process.
The process takes about a year, from vineyard work to fermentation and bottling, resulting in a personal and unique barrel produced by each participant, bottled with a designed label that also reflects the therapeutic and winemaking journey.
The bottles of the first cycle participants are now available for purchase, and the entire purchase amount goes as a donation to the association, to fund its ongoing activities, which have significantly expanded due to the need to assist victims of the current war.
What to Buy: Wines from program participants. With a donation of NIS 250 to the association, you will receive a surprise bottle delivered to your home; one of the 13 types of wines created by the first cycle participants.
Who to Buy for: Wine lovers and do-gooders.
