Judean hills

Between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, the Judean Hills share a tale of rich winemaking, featuring small vineyards and wineries that paint the landscape.

As the largest wine region in Israel, it proudly contributes 27% to the country's wine production. With roots reaching back to Biblical times, these rolling hills embrace deep soils of chalk and clay loams, creating the perfect playground for viticulture.

Elevations ranging from 500 to 1150 feet above sea level ensure a varied terroir, while an average rainfall of up to 20" per year nourishes the thriving vineyards. Dive into the character of this historic region, where winter temperatures from 40-60°F and summer temperatures from 65-86°F provide an ideal climate for grape cultivation. Many vineyards, planted in the 1950s and 1960s, reflect a commitment to the art of winemaking that continues to evolve.
