Golan Heights Winery –
Winemaking on the Golan Plateau
The vineyards of Golan Heights Winery lie between 400 and 1,100 meters above sea level, north of the Sea of Galilee. Volcanic soils and a cool mountain climate create conditions that are hardly expected in this region – long growing seasons, pronounced day-night temperature fluctuations, and a natural freshness that is reflected in the wines.
Founded in 1983 by four kibbutzim and moshavim in Katzrin , the winery developed into one of Israel's most renowned wineries in the following decades. In 1992, winemaker Victor Schoenfeld joined the team, bringing experience from France and California. His artisanal understanding of terroir and aging continues to shape the style of the wines to this day.
The flagship line is the Yarden range, named after the Hebrew word for Jordan. Its distinguishing feature: a mosaic-decorated oil lamp, a reminder of the region's history. The wines in this line have won numerous awards and represent a style that combines structure and elegance – compelling for anyone who hasn't yet discovered Israeli wine.
