Join us on a tour through the lovely vineyards of the Golan Heights, for a day of nature, beautiful Galilee and Golan views, and winery visits including tastings from the finest of the wines.
Tour program
We shall meet at the Grape Man home in Jaffa and from there depart in a fancy tour bus on our way to the Golan Heights. On the way we will treat you with sparkling wines and fruit served by our staff.
We shall begin our tour of the Golan with a visit to "Odem" vineyard, Golan Heights winery's organic vineyard, where we shall hear explanations about the uniqueness of organic vine growing, after which we shall continue directly to the well-known cellar of the winery, gathering around the special tasting table, for a tasting of 6 different quality wines from the Golan Heights winery. This is the winery directly 'responsible' for Israel's quality wine revolution, a leading winery with regards to quality, technology, research and development. Actually, the winery changed the outlook of the Israeli wine consumer and placed an important stage in the local wine culture.
Upon concluding the visit to the Golan Heights Winery we shall move on to the exclusive and decorated Bazelet HaGolan Winery, situated in Moshav Kidmat Zvi. We shall tour the winery, view enchanting scenery from the veranda on the upper floor and refresh ourselves with tastings of top quality wines from this highly appreciated boutique winery, assembling in the winery's tasting room surrounded by numerous medals which the winery has won, proudly presented on the walls. Bazelet's story began like the story of numerous 'garage wineries' however the achievements reached by this winery stand apart. The progress this winery made during such a short time can serve as an inspiration for every small winery owner in Israel.
Next we will continue to a feast of meat in the "Meatshos" restaurant in the town of Katzrin, where we will enjoy a selection of entrees, after which chunks of 'New Yorker', 'Entrecote', 'Porter House' or 'Sirloin' will be served to the table by order. This special meat meal will be generously accompanied by wines from the Golan Heights, and shall be completed with coffee and dessert.
