Est. 1885 ยท Bethlehem, Palestine
Where Heritage Meets the Vine
Inspired by the vision of Fr. Antonio Belloni and the Salesian tradition, Cremisan has nurtured the sacred terroirs of Bethlehem for over 139 years, crafting wines that carry the soul of the Holy Land in every glass.
From Monastery to Masterpiece
A Few Drops of History
In 1863, a young Italian missionary priest living in Bethlehem, Fr. Antonio Belloni, began caring for poor Christian orphans by offering them shelter and education. Known as Abu El Yatama โ the Father of the Orphans โ he established the Cremisan house as a religious educational institution.
In 1885, a small winery was born within the natural caves of a 7th-century Byzantine monastery, creating work opportunities for the local community. When Fr. Belloni met Fr. John Bosco, founder of the Salesian congregation, their shared mission to uplift youth through education united them.
Today, Cremisan lies on the northern slope of Mount El Ras, beside Beit Jala โ only 5 km from Bethlehem and 12 km from Jerusalem. The name Cremisan comes from Kerem Zan, meaning 'Vineyard of the Zan grapes,' reflecting centuries of viticultural tradition.
Cremisan was the first winery to produce wines from indigenous Palestinian grapes. Through genetic analysis of over 64 samples, only 21 unique genotypes were identified โ leading to the selection of Dabouki, Hamdani, Jandali, and Baladi as the estate's signature varietals.
Management
The Salesian Province of the Middle East, the legal owner of the Winery, runs and manages the property with the support of Fadi Batarseh (Winemaker / Executive Director), Jabra Taweel (Accountant), and several lay professionals and employees.
Since 2007, the winery has benefited from the precious support and technical advice provided by Dr. Riccardo Cotarella, renowned worldwide, and Dr. Stefano Cimicchi, in the promotion of the Cremisan experience on the Italian territory. Since 2008, the Italian NGO VIS, thanks to several international donors, has contributed to enhancing the wine's quality by providing training to local staff, upgrading building capacities and machinery, and promoting products at a local and international level.
