YOUR GUIDE

Oded Shoham, born in Israel and raised in America, is arguably the most experienced wine personality in the country! There is barely a facet of the wine business that he has not covered. He has worked for the largest wineries in the country as well as small boutique wineries. He has planted vines, managed vineyards and even made his own wine. Oded has experience in export, import, marketing and sales. He has also managed a retail wine shop and worked for a supermarket chain. He is founder of Handcrafted Wines of Israel, a conglomerate that includes some of Israel’s finest small wineries. He's also founder of The Israel Wine Experience, offering winery visits, events and tastings. Oded provides a ready smile, amusing stories to cover every situation and makes use of his unequaled knowledge of Israeli wine.
