Stay : Wine Weekend in Northern Israel
An ancestral object of worship, the vine was already cultivated in Galilee when the Bible was written! Although the manufacturing processes are nowadays much less rudimentary, the land from which Israeli wine is made has remained more or less the same. Here's an idea for an extended weekend that sounds like a small oenological pilgrimage in the North of the Holy Land.

Day 1: Samaria
Steps: Zichron Ya'Acov, Binyamina-Giv'At Ada, Sebastia, Tel Aviv, Cesarea
From Tel Aviv, go north along the coast to Caesarea: you are in Samaria, or Shomrôn, a region that produces one of the best Israeli wine productions. From there, reach the Binyamina town of Binyamina Winery, then Carmel Winert, located 12 km away, in Zihkron Yaakov

Day 2: Galileo
Steps: Safed
Then cross Galilee for about 100 kilometres (about 1h30 by road) towards the Golan Heights to Safed in Lower Galilee. From there, head to Dalton, 10 km north of Safed to visit one of the city's two cellars (or both): Dalton Winery and Adir Winery. Take a little height and continue to Yiron, located on the Lebanese border in Upper Galilee for a proper visit of the excellent Galil Mountain Winery
Day 3: Golan Heights
Steps: Mas'Ada, Qatzrin, Ein Zivan, Kidmat Tzvi, Odem
Explore the north of the Golan, first by Odem, 60 km east of Yiron, to discover Odem Mountain Winery. The rest of the day will take place in Ein Zivan, to visit Pelter Winery, and to Kidmat Tsvi, to discover Bazelet HaGolan Winery. Complete this step in the Upper Golan in Qatzrin: this city is the stronghold, among others, of the very well-known Golan Heights Winery.

On the way back to Lake Tiberias, about thirty kilometres south of Qatzrin and east of the lake, stop at Avnei Eitan, where the Bashan Winery is located, and at Eli Ad to visit Golan Winery Castle, to finish this little oenological pilgrimage in style! Return to Tel Aviv at the end of the day
