This is a veteran winery located in the impressive Latroun Monastery, which was built by Trappist Cistercian monks in the late 1800's. The winery itself is a maze of chambers, halls, cloisters and tunnels that are closed to the public. An underground tunnel connects the monastery to the winery, allowing the monks easy access to the winery regardless of weather conditions. Even on the hottest days, the temperature remains a pleasant 18c – 20c. In the past these corridors served as shelters for the monks during the fierce battles that took place in the region in the 1948 War of Independence and the 1967 Six Day War.The winery produces wines from over 20 varueties and they can be purchased in the Monastery shop.
