These are the ones who make it possible
The people

Batya Schwartz and Dieter Mittelsten Scheid
Since their arrival in 1982, Batya and Dieter’s pursuit has been to preserve the purity and integrity of Poci. United by their love for nature, they dedicate themselves to sustaining a balance between their two passions, one for Poci’s land and its products and the other for the human spirit. Both the Poci wine and the Poci retreats reflect this devotion and the equilibrium they have maintained here throughout the years. Presently, they are committed to building a bridge to the future of Poci, broad enough to carry the magic of the old and the mission of the new.

Over the years, they have built a close-knit and motivated team, a team that feels like a family.
