Highlights
The Upper Galilee, or as I like to call it: “The Tuscany of Israel”
Full of evergreen mountains, hills, creeks and streams, this romantic region is the perfect region for high quality wine growing.
Thanks to Mediterranean climate, the sea breeze from the near Mediterranean coast line and high altitude vineyard sites, the quality of the region’s wines is so high and impressive. Most of the best wineries from all around the country own vineyards here or they fight to buy grapes from selected vineyards.
I invite you to an unforgettable private wine journey in the Upper Galilee, a journey of wines, wineries, vineyards, people, history and amazing views with a local certified sommelier as your private tour guide who will be more than happy to share his passion, knowledge and connections with you.
Itinerary
Galil Mountain Winery
2 hoursAdmission Ticket IncludedIn Kibbutz Yiron, meters from the Lebanese border, located this impressive winery.Although relatively big, producing 1 million bottles a year, it operates as an organic and sustainable one. It uses only grapes from its glorious organic vineyard sites in the Eastern Upper Galilee. Its winemaker, Micha Veadia, educated in California, is one the pillars of the Israeli wine making and growing industry.We would taste their premium brands, such as the Yiron, a bordeaux style red which is considered by many to be one of the best wines in the history of Israeli wines, vintage after vintage.Abaya Winery
2 hoursAdmission Ticket IncludedYossi Yodfat, a genius and a controversy winemaker, founded the first and almost the onlyBiodynamic winery in Israel, which means among other things, minimum interventions in the winemaking process. His wines are pure, rustic and rural with tons of character, expressiveness and uniqueness. Fermenting naturally, they are not fine or filtered, and contain very low amounts of sulfite, some are even bottled without it.He is focusing on single vineyards Carignan for the reds and Colombard for the white and orange wines. It's not easy to get a visit there, but we got it!Harashim
2 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeIts story begins in 1987 with the planting of the vineyard in Harashim, on Mount Shazor, in one of Israel’s rainiest locations and at an altitude of 860 meters. As natives of this mountain, raised in the wild nature of Harashim, its highest value is land conservation. It acts to preserve and enliven the biodiversity in the vineyard and in its surroundings. Its actions are dictated by biodynamic methods of agriculture and winemaking. The winemaking at Harashim Winery strives to be as natural, precise and gentle as possible. This allows full expression of the varieties and growing environment. This ambition is performed through manual harvesting, gentle separation, wild fermentations in small tanks and low temperatures. Pressing is performed in a basket press.
