Day trips for your Visit!

Both Nitzan and Jessica love going to wineries so for them no website would be complete without recommending their favorite ones.

Amphorae - Located out side of zichron yakov, a small town just below haifa. Great wines and cheese plates. Probably one of the busiest wineries in all of Israel you will need a reservation and to rent a car if you decide to go!

Sphera - An all white wine winery family owned boutique winery located by Beit Shemesh. There are many places to hike out in nature in this area. The small town this winery is located in is home to many other wineries as well. Feel free to check out Britannia park nearby where there are ancient ruins you can explore.

Seahorse - This is a small winery with a very interesting collection of wines. The owner specifically likes to grow grapes that are not known in this part of the world. He also used to be a big movie producer back in the day. He is a bit of a grouch but his wife is absolutely lovely and has never forgotten Jessica over the years.

Castel du domaine - A gorgeous winery over-looking the Judean hills. We love their white and rose wines and always have a bottle handy in the house (the Petit Castle is a great red too).

Tzora - Also located by the Judean hills, they are a very small boutique winery. They are known for mixing of two grapes and making some really tasty and interesting wines.

Other places to visit:

The Kinneret - Israels fresh water lake thats filled by the Jordan river. Similar to a beach town but with multiple small neighbourhoods surrounding the water. The most popular city in the area is Tibberias.

Eilat - The most southern part of Israel and bordered by Jordan and Egypt. About 4 hours from Tel aviv or a short 40 minute plane ride. If you are looking to go to a trip to Jordan/ Petra this would be the crossing you would be going through.

Mitzpe Rimon - Going through the Israeli desert is a very cool experience. There are tons of places to stay in this areas as well as homes some of Israel's fanciest hotel chains. Not so far from Ein Gedi and the Dead Sea - its a great place to visit and see amazing sights, with some great hikes in the area as well.

Ein Hod - Not far from Amphorae. If you want to do a few things together in a day. This is an artist village that has many generations living there. If you are looking for some local non touristy souvenirs this is the place to go.

Carmel Mountains - Located near Zichron Yakkov and Haifa, this area is filled with hiking trails and pita druzie stops along the way. The national parks are a great place to connect with nature and also see the beach and sea at a distance.

Masada - If you plan to visit the desert or the dead sea you should definitely check out Masada on the way. A fortress built by King Herod filled with history and a tale like no other. You can either hike up and down the mountain or they do have a cable car to bring you both up and down. Either way bring a lot of water and pack comfy shoes as there's a lot of steep walking involved, but the view is amazing (We think the place is overrated - but most tourists end up there).
