Wine career

Adam Montefiore is a specialist in Israeli wine. He has been referred to as 'The Ambassador of Israeli Wine,' and 'The English Voice of Israeli Wine.'[2][3] He is the Wine Writer for the Jerusalem Post and has written books on Israeli wine.[4]

Montefiore worked for Charrington (Bass Charrington) and Crest Hotels International (Bass Hotels & Resorts)[1][ in the UK, starting in beer and moving into wine. He studied wine at the WSET and was a Founder and later Honorary member of The Academy of Wine Service. He first started working with Israeli wine in the 1980s, helping Yarden, Gamla and Golan wines gain a foothold in the UK. After moving to Israel in 1989, he worked for Israeli wineries for twenty seven years. In the 1990s he worked for the Golan Heights Winery, the pioneering winery of Israel. In the 2000s he worked with Carmel Winery (including Yatir Winery), the historic winery of Israel. He founded Handcrafted Wines of Israel, the first time Israeli wineries worked together, and played a significant role in the development of Israeli wines.[4][5] [2][3].

He has been the Wine Writer of The Jerusalem Post [4] since 2010. He is the biographer of the Golan Heights Winery and Domaine du Castel, arguably Israel's two most famous wineries, and author of The Wine Route of Israel and Wines of Israel. He also writes about wine for the Jewish Chronicle and www.wines-Israel.com [5]. He contributes to Hugh Johnson's Pocket Wine Book, Oz Clarke's Wine A to Z, The World Atlas of Wine, The Sotheby's Wine Encyclopedia and writes the section on Israel and Kosher for Jancis Robinson MW's Oxford Companion to Wine. He is a member of The Circle of Wine Writers.[6][permanent dead link][7]

Currently, he is CEO of Adam Montefiore Wine Consultancy [8], offering services to wineries, retailers, hotels, restaurants and private individuals, and partner of The Israel Wine Experience [9] , which educates about Israeli wine and advances wine tourism.

In 2024, he was presented with the prestigious Terravino Lifetime Achievement Award in honor of his contribution to Israeli wine. [10].
