Named for the town of its founding (which in turn had been named for Benjamin Rothschild) in the early 1950's by Hungarian immigrant, Joseph Zeltzer, the Binyamina winery is located in a former perfume factory; the basement of which was used as a safe house by the pre-state Hagana. Their Moshava Chardonnay is named to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the state of Israel.
