There are now well over 200 wineries in Israel.
There is a rich history of producing local wines that has been traced back to 3000 BC. But the contemporary wineries reappeared in the 1800s in Jerusalem,where small wineries started producing sacramental wine. The recent phenomena of quality wine making started in the 1990s.
You can choose between six main wine-growing regions for your wine tour in Israel, depending on your interest and the season.
The Central Area of Israel has been producing wine since most ancient times. This area includes three major regions which today, produce some of the best wine in the country:
1. the Carmel Mountain Wineries to the South from Haifa
2. the Judean Hill Wineries around Jerusalem and adjacent Shfela Valley
3. and the Sharon Plain Wineries north of Tel Aviv.
Northern Israel's high altitudes, volcanic soil, and the contrast between hot summers and snowy winters are ideal for wine-making. The northern wine regions are in:
5. and the Golan Heights Wineries
From Southern Israel, the Ancient Hebrew spies smuggled huge wine grapes as the Bible tells us.
