Vinotherapy - an emotional wine journey
"Raising a Glass to Life” is the world’s first Vinotherapy program – an innovative emotional–winemaking rehabilitation process developed by the NGO, tailored specifically for combat veterans living with post-trauma.
Over the course of a year, each participant produces a unique, personal wine series, accompanied by a therapeutic-emotional team and leading professionals from Israel’s wine industry.
The personal barrel symbolizes the participant’s soul, becoming the vessel through which they experience their journey. Every stage of the winemaking process – in the winery and in the vineyard – takes on emotional meaning and reflection.
The purpose of the journey is to gradually rebuild personal resilience: to strengthen and restore abilities that have been eroded, to discover new strengths, to regain self-confidence, a sense of value and capability, belonging and meaning. In doing so, the program paves the way for new paths of growth, reignites passion for life, and enables the transition into a state of post-traumatic growth.
The personal wine series
The journey revolves around the personal wine barrel, which represents the soul – its inner fermentations, its sediments, as well as the uniqueness, strengths, and beauty that emerge after the injury.
Through the challenges of the journey, the emotional reflection on the winemaking process, and the creation of a personal wine at its conclusion, abilities that had been worn down throughout years of rehabilitation are revealed and strengthened, personal resilience is reinforced, and the passion for life is rekindled.

LAYLA Series
LAYLA LAVAN and LAYLA ADOM are produced by graduates of ‘Wine Journey’ at Dalton Winery. This series exemplifies professionalism and skill despite the challenges of the injury, and it carries with it messages of ability, growth and hope.
The Terra Uma Association is guided by a sustainable economic model in which the products of the growth process finance the journeys that follow.
The Vineyard and the Orchard
In June 2023, together with the participants of our first cohort, we planted Terra Uma’s very first vineyard plot in Bat Shlomo.
With the guidance of Israel’s leading vintners, we are learning and gaining expertise in cultivating the vines, ensuring high-quality grapes for the journeys to come.
Working in the vineyard is a vital and central element of the process experienced by the program’s participants.
