A new Center for Wine Culture has opened at Carmel Winery’s Zichron Ya’acov Wine Cellars. It is called Carmel Wine & Culture and replaces the previous visitors’ center. The complex includes a wine shop, restaurant, two specialist tasting rooms, a small cinema and barrel room, in one of Rothschild’s historic underground cellars.
At Carmel’s Zichron Ya’acov Wine Cellars, it is possible to see winemaking on both a large and small scale. It is the largest winery in Israel, yet there is also a small state-of-the-art facility for making the upper level wines.
Visitors will learn about the history of Israeli wine from the 1880’s right up to the recent quality revolution. The winery provides a fascinating glimpse into the ancient, old and new world of winemaking, all in one setting.
Wine workshops, winery tours and tutored tastings are available for groups of 10 people or more. Each offers a unique wine experience. All bookings in advance.
