Wine from Galilee
Galilee in northern Israel is widely considered to be one of Israel’s finest thanks to the relatively high elevation and annual rainfall which favors superb Bordeaux-style reds made with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Top wineries in this region include the Golan Heights Winery, Flam Winery, and Dalton Winery.
Wine from Shomron
Another ancient Biblical wine region, Shomron is best known for the Carmel Winery which was founded in 1882 by Baron Edmond de Rothschild of the famous French family who own Chateaux Lafite-Rothschild and Mouton-Rothschild in Bordeaux. The balmy coastal Mediterranean climate here is ideal for growing French varieties like Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc.
Wine from Samson
Taking its name from the legendary Biblical figure, the region of Samson sits on Israel’s central coastal plain to the southeast of Tel Aviv where vines thrive in the mild climate. One of the most important names here is Tishbi Winery which was founded by a Lithuanian emigrant couple in 1882 with the backing of Baron Edmund de Rothschild who had established the highly-successful Carmel Winery in Shomron.
Wine from Judean Hills
Close to the city of Jerusalem, the Judean Hills are home to many of Israel’s top producers including Domaine du Castel, Tzora Vineyards, and Yatir. Grapes have been grown on these gentle slopes for some 2500 years and the high-altitude vineyards help produce perfectly-balanced, remarkably complex red wines typically made with French grape varieties.
