In 2003, the Itzhaki family fulfilled their long-held vision by founding the Tulip Winery, an expression of their great love of wine and huge love of people. This was a true milestone – combining fine, high quality wines with a committed contribution to the community. The hillside in Kfar Tikva, a small and pastoral settlement for residents with special needs, was the perfect and most natural setting for building the winery. The winery’s inspiring and thriving model of employing members of the community and providing a platform for their integration into the labor market just like ordinary people, formed an extraordinary, strong, inseparable and rooted connection. Tulip Winery annually produces about 300,000 bottles that are sold throughout Israel and in many countries worldwide. Tulip wines receive enthusiastic reviews from wine critics and customers alike, as well as international awards, complementing the holistic experience that every person feels when they encounter these wines. The passion to create unique, bold and out of the box wines constantly drives us forward. Tulip Winery’s entrepreneurial spirit enables us to continue to lead – creatively, innovatively, professionally and sensitively. The professional breakthrough discernible in the unique blends and the uncompromising quality throughout the winemaking process. Tulip’s unique combination of professional expertise and its new statement within the wine industry, lead to the winery’s great success. Tulip Winery is located in Kfar Tikva (in Kiryat Tivon), a community settlement whose residents are all mature people with special needs. Tulip is a social winery, the first of its kind in the world, that has established an employment model of people with special needs in the wine industry. The winery has engraved on its banner the value of the contribution to the community since its inception and employs the residents of Kfar Tikva, who have become an integral part of the winery's family, in the various works
