Cosmetics & Wine
An experiential workshop where we’ll learn about the value of the grape seed, and see how to make – with home cooking – outstanding natural products for daily use to improve our skin’s appearance
Read moreDuring the summer, 1,000 tons of grapes are harvested from the vines of Galil Mountain Winery’s vineyards. At the crushing stage, the skin and seeds are separated, and the juice begins its fermentation process, eventually turning into wine.
For hundreds of years, grape seeds have been renowned for their natural properties in healing the blood system, cells and tissue. This has led to great demand for their use in cosmetics products.
At the end of this activity, each participant will take home the product she or he made during the workshop.
