Har HaGalil (Mount of the Galilee) Winery is a boutique operation in the upper Galilee that produces small quantities of handcrafted wine with an emphasis on expressing the unique terroir of the Galilee mountains. The winery’s vineyards are planted at elevations between 700 and 900 meters, and the combination of altitude, Mediterranean climate, and limestone soils produces wines with minerality and freshness.
The Wines
Har HaGalil produces primarily red wines, with a focus on Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. The style is elegant rather than powerful, emphasizing the cool-climate character of the high Galilee. Production is limited, and the wines are available primarily at the winery and select restaurants.
The Tasting
Tastings are intimate and personal, often conducted by the winemaker. The small scale of the operation means visitors get genuine attention and insight into the winemaking process. The setting, in the Galilee hills near Safed, is beautiful.
