Established in 2002 by the visionary duo of Barak and Hilla Dehan, Sumek Winery embodies a commitment to producing wines of the highest caliber, derived from the family’s own vineyards. Barak, a vintner hailing from a lineage of winemakers spanning five generations in Zichron Ya’akov, carries within him an innate passion for wine, instilled by his family’s rich tradition. With an intimate understanding of every plot and vine, Barak employs a harmonious blend of traditional manual techniques to coax the very best from the vineyards, yielding grapes of exceptional quality that form the foundation of Sumek’s excellence.

Complementing Barak’s expertise is Hilla, who holds a bachelor’s degree in agriculture from the esteemed Hebrew University. Fueling her quest for knowledge and mastery of winemaking, she ventured to Australia, where she delved deeper into the art and science of oenology, ultimately completing a master’s degree in the subject at the University of Adelaide. Together, Barak and Hilla merge their talents, infusing Sumek Winery with a fusion of time-honored tradition, extensive vineyard cultivation experience in the Zichron Ya’akov region, and cutting-edge technological and oenological expertise.
