Tomer Vaknin

Sous Chef

Tal is the first to truly organize and arrange the Rutenberg wine and alcohol collection. She is an expert in discovering special and new wines. We are thrilled to have managed moving her and her family from the center to a kibbutz in the Valley of Springs.

Wine and Business Development

Manor has taken on the task of fulfilling Hilah and Yizhar's dream of a crazy garden in the valley's heat with creativity and admirable grace.

Manor Arieli

Garden

With years of experience in the restaurant industry, Lior eventually returned to his roots. He is Yizhar's younger brother. Yes, it's the same sense of humor... In the end, we might even drag him back to live in the kibbutz.

Lior Sahar

Manager

Comes mainly from the wine field but, together with Yizhar, has learned a lot of nonsense over the years and continues to apply and develop Rutenberg. She still answers that she is from Tzora when asked...
