Towering over 15 miles of Israel’s Mediterranean Coastline, the Carmel range has always been a symbol of beauty. Rolling views across the flat coastal plain on one side, and the Galilee on the other, coupled with quaint villages, nature reserves, and wineries make it special

Israel has developed a world-class network of wineries stretching across the country. From the first vineyards built over 100 years ago, the country now has tens of vineyards producing high quality wines.

Israeli wine has long stirred up associations with the syrupy libations of religious rituals, but modern techniques imported from top winemaking nations are now helping it find space on shelves from Paris to New York.

Zichron Yaakov is one of the first modern settlements in Israel sitting tranquilly upon Mount Carmel overlooking the Mediterranean. Founded with vineyards, this town forms one of the centers of Israel’s wine industry today.
