Join us for a fabulous fall brunch hosted by Sonoma Wine Shop & La Bodega, in partnership with Ori Zigfinger and Aliza Somekh (Bishulisf.com). This event promises a true Israel-style feast featuring the freshest ingredients and vibrant flavors.

More than just another meal, this annual event brings you a brunch inspired by the best of contemporary Israeli cuisine. 

The story of these breakfasts begins in the late 1940s, around the time of Israel's establishment as a state, with residents of the kibbutz. In Hebrew, "kibbutz" means "gathering." Kibbutzim are intentional communities traditionally based around agriculture, located throughout Israel. From the beginning, the kibbutznikim (residents of the kibbutz) ate their meals in a communal dining hall. It was common for residents to have a light snack early in the morning, work in the fields for several hours, and then return to the dining hall for a hearty mid-morning buffet meal, similar to brunch. By the 1950s, Israeli hotels began promoting the "Israeli breakfast" in a style reminiscent of the kibbutz meals.
