Not sure what to do with your etrog after the holiday? Join us for a unique opportunity to learn how to make your own Etrog Wine! Fermentation is one of the world’s oldest food-preservation technologies, with humans fermenting foods and beverages for thousands of years; in some cultures, alcohol consumption was largely reserved for religious ceremonies.
Archaeological evidence reveals that vineyards thrived in Israel as early as 5,000 years ago, with wine playing a central role in religious rituals, trade, and daily life. Grapes were cultivated across regions like Judea, Samaria, and Galilee, with Israel’s wine renowned across the Mediterranean world.
In this hands-on workshop led by �Zack Rouda� from Rewild Maine, you’ll learn the entire process of making wine from etrog fruit, from start to finish!
Although we won’t complete the full fermentation in one night, we’ll plan a celebration to sample the wine together once it’s ready in several months.
Don’t have an etrog?
No problem—everyone is welcome to join in!
