Around the world, Twitter users are gathering together this weekend to support water in Africa. In a fundraising effort, proceeds from the event – taking place at numerous locations around the world – will go to support charity:water.
One of these events to support water in Africa will be taking place in Jerusalem. The Jerusalem Twestival 2009 (12 February 2009, Jerusalem Venture Partner Media Labs – corner of Derech Hevron and Rehov David Remez)will also feature wine from Israel’s boutique Soreq winery.
One of the most established boutique wineries in Israel, the Soreq Winery is nestled in the ancient wine country between the Ayalon and Soreq valleys terraced in the western Judean Hills on Moshav Tel Shachar. Soreq wines come from their Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot vineyards as well as a few other specialty vineyards which together produce about 5000 bottles of wine a year.
This family-run business also teaches the art of wine-making to dozens of students at their school, established with the winery in 1994. Hobbyist learn side-by-side with professionals and over forty alumni have 
started their own commercial wineries.
Wines by the glass and by the bottle will be available for purchase at the Jerusalem Twestival. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Charity:Water.
