October 26, 2026 (London) — As the grape-picking season draws to a close across Palestine, the vineyards mark the end of another agricultural cycle rooted in generations of cultivation and winemaking. This autumn, Nabeeth Wine & Spirits is bringing the story of Palestinian wine to British tables through its collection of wines, beers and carefully curated gifts.
Founded by Palestinian chef and author Fadi Kattan and wine professional Anna Patrowicz, Nabeeth works with Palestinian producers including Cremisan, Taybeh, Ashkar and Jascala, introducing British consumers to wines that express the diversity of Palestine’s vineyards, grape varieties and winemaking traditions.
At the heart of this discovery are indigenous varieties such as Dabouki and Bitouni. Cultivated in Palestine for generations, these grapes offer distinctive expressions of the land and a different perspective on the wines of the eastern Mediterranean. Alongside them, Palestinian winemakers produce wines from internationally recognised varieties.
Cultivating the land through challenging times
Across the West Bank, Palestinian farmers face restrictions on access to agricultural land, checkpoints and road closures that complicate movement, and risks of violence and damage to agricultural property. Vineyards require year-round attention, from pruning and tending the soil to transporting grapes to the winery. Disrupted access and difficult logistics place additional pressure on agricultural livelihoods and small producers.
For Nabeeth, developing lasting relationships with British importers, retailers and consumers is one way to support the livelihoods of the people who grow the grapes, make the wines and sustain these traditions.
“The grape harvest is one of the most beautiful moments in Palestine’s agricultural year,” says Fadi Kattan, co-founder of Nabeeth. “It brings together the land, the people who cultivate it and the traditions that have shaped our food and wine culture for generations. But today, even the simple act of reaching one’s land, tending the vines or transporting produce can become a challenge. Supporting Palestinian farmers, winemakers and artisans means helping them continue their work and sustain the livelihoods and traditions behind it. We want people to discover these wines for their quality and character, but also to understand the people and stories they carry. A bottle shared at a table can be the beginning of a conversation.”
Discovering Palestine through its indigenous grapes
“What excites me most about Palestinian wines is that they have their own identity,” says Anna Patrowicz, co-founder of Nabeeth. “Varieties such as Dabouki and Bitouni are still unfamiliar to most wine drinkers in Britain, yet they have so much to offer. These are wines that deserve to be discovered, tasted and enjoyed on their own merits. By creating a market for them in the UK, we can build lasting relationships with the producers and support the continuity of their work. With Nabeeth, we want to make that discovery accessible, whether someone is choosing a bottle for dinner, exploring a new grape variety or giving a gift that carries a story.”
