Wine Route in Galilee, Israel
The Upper Galilee region in Israel is rich in culinary adventures — from wine tasting, to cheese sampling, and berry picking. Tour boutique wineries, alongside larger ones which already export their well-reviewed products abroad.
For a complete overview of the wine industry in Israel, we highly recommend the book The Ultimate Rogov’s Guide to Israeli Wines.
The book was published just before the eminent Israel wine maven, Daniel Rogov, passed away, with his latest research and tastings of Israel’s growing list of fine boutique wineries.
