Carmel Winery

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 new 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. 
Winery tours, tutored tastings and wine workshops are available for groups. Each offers a unique wine experience. All bookings in advance.
