Our Mission
Situated in the North Eastern part of Africa, Ethiopia is in the heart of a valley surrounded by majestic mountains. Ethiopia is often referred to as the “Cradle of Mankind.” It is an ancient country, over 3,000 years in age, and it continues to present itself as a celebrated historical destination. Ethiopia has welcomed Kings and Queens, pilgrims, explorers and historians for centuries offering its intriguing culture, natural beauty, and charm to all. Although the region continues to grow and change, each layer of its rich history is very much alive. Legend has long claimed that Tej (Ethiopia’s Honey Wine) was made thousands years ago, well before the rest of the world came to know it as Mead. . Today we continue to honor our Ethiopian heritage by skillfully and naturally producing Tej from the finest and purest earthy raw materials that nature can provide.
Given its antiquity, the discovery of these ancient Tej and Tej-based wines in United States and South Africa deliver excellent quality and stunning packaging to the now health-conscious wine lovers not just here but also all over the world. In this time of modernization, new issues emerge, but it is also a period when traditional cultural values and lifestyles may be abandoned or lost by the wayside. Our traditional Tej and Tej-based wines are not beyond this threat. However, The Heritage Winery was established with the primary objectives of placing the oldest alcoholic beverage on the world’s shelves, generating added excitement and fascination to the wonderful world of wines, and heightening the appreciation of enjoying the finest Tej and Tej-based wines. Behind each of The Heritage Winery’s products, we are committed to ensure that they are the finest, the freshest and highest quality authentic Ethiopian Tej and Tej-based wines based on tradition.
