Some Historical Background For Your Trip
(And what makes this trip special)
The Land of Israel is the original “old world” wine region. Since the time of the Bible, thousands of years before the fruit of the vine reached Europe’s shores, in ~1,700 BC, the Biblical patriarch Jacob, blessed his son Judas for the production of high-quality wine. The blessing came true, and the Judean Hills’ wine region turned into the “Bordeaux” of Ancient Israel.
After 2000 years, the wine industry in the Holy Land is back to what it was in the time of the Bible.
We will visit spectacular sites in the Judean Hills, the mountain range that dominates the landscape around Jerusalem, the area of the Kingdom of Judah where the earliest Jewish settlements were located. We will look out over the Judean Hills, see where the famous battle between David and Goliath took place, and visit some of the region’s best wineries.
