True to its Roots
The Upper Galilee mountain range is much more than an abode for Galil Mountain Winery;
it’s the Winery’s heart and soul. Sitting in a breathtaking spot atop the Upper
Galilee mountain range, the innovatively designed winery is committed to revitalizing
the region’s rich history of winemaking. Over 2,000 years ago, the mountain range
– one of Israel’s highest at more than 1,000 meters above sea level – was a choice
location for the cultivation of quality grapevines. Today, the area’s topography,
soil and climate make it an ideal home for the vibrant Galil Mountain Winery.
Established as a joint venture headed by the world-renowned Golan Heights Winery
in 2000, Galil Mountain Winery preserves the delicate balance between tradition
and technology. Leveraging five area vineyards, a state-of-the-art production plant
and proven expertise, Galil Mountain Winery offers an inspired selection of award-winning
wines that remains true to its roots.
