Olivier was born in France and at a young age immigrated to Israel with his parents. Everyone thought he would grow up to be a pharmacist, but when he became
acquainted with the world of wine, during his work as a sommelier aft er his military service, he realized that he had met his calling.
He has a BA in Plant Sciences (school of plantations) from the Faculty of Agriculture in Rehovot, and an MA in

the production of red wine in barrels”.
