Galilee

Considered the top winemaking area in Israel, the region of Galilee has quickly become a powerful wine region.

Due to where it's located, the climate, and the vines’ heights, most experts consider Galilee as the best region in Israel for making wine. While the area has been making wine since ancient BC, only since the 1980's it become internationally recognized.

The Upper Galilee, with its well-drained heavy soils, hosts a mix of volcanic, gravel, and terra rossa soils, ranging from 1200 to 3300 feet above sea level. While the vineyards near Lebanon's border boast elevations of 1200 to 1500 feet, those surrounding Mount Meron soar even higher.

Witness the relatively recent wine renaissance, with most Upper Galilee vineyards planted since the mid to late 1990s. With an annual precipitation of 31-40" and winter temperatures from 32-60°F, Galilee provides an ideal viticultural canvas. The Lower Galilee, near Mount Tabor, offers elevations from 600 to 1300 feet, featuring diverse volcanic and limestone soils with 15-20" precipitation.

Bask in the region's unique terroir, contributing to 25% of Israel's wine production, and savor the essence of Galilee in every sip.
